This instrument provides conclusive identification of compounds by the fragmentation pattern in the mass spectrometer. Dria, who is considering attending grad school after he receives his Ashland University degree, plans to present his research results at the Ohio Academy of Science's April 4 meeting. I also plan to test them with ants to see of they're insect repellent. Due to his double major in chemistry and toxicology, Dria is carrying 19 hours in his final semester before graduation. Even though research takes a lot of time, I enjoy it.
Research projects teach students to do science in the real world.
And Dria's project just may have applications one day in the real world.
