Here in Episode #39, podcast host Dr. Jerry Workman speaks with Dr. Macarena Garcia Marin, who is an astrophysicist and instrument scientist for the European Space Agency based at the Space Telescope and Science Institute in Baltimore, MD USA. She will be discussing the highlights of the role of the James Webb Space Telescope, also known as JWST, and its abilities and discoveries using the science of spectroscopy in space, since performing spectroscopic research since its launch in 2021.

We have invited Macarena to our Analytically Speaking podcast to discuss the current discoveries using JWST and what the future hopes are for a deeper understanding of the amazing universe that surrounds our home, planet Earth.  



Ep 39: Space and Spectroscopy: Two Very Important Things

Analytically Speaking, the podcast from LCGC and Spectroscopy magazines, addresses important issues in separation science and analytical spectroscopy. Topics include new analytical techniques, methods, and approaches; the latest trends; advances in instrument and software technology; practical solutions for specific applications; recent papers in the scientific literature and their applicability; challenges and solutions for data analysis and interpretation; analytical chemistry theory and fundamentals (from advanced research to tutorials and troubleshooting); and more. Our regular hosts are Dwight Stoll, PhD, a professor of chemistry at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, and Jerry Workman, PhD, a spectroscopist, noted author, and currently the Senior Technical Editor of Spectroscopy and LCGC. Dwight covers separation science and Jerry addresses spectroscopy related topics.
