My responsibility is to make sure that when the researcher gets here, the beamline is running at peak efficiency, so they can get their data and then write a fantastic paper and get into a fantastic publication. There’s a lot of different stuff that my job requires, and it’s always fun to get something new I can sink my teeth into.”
“I think you should always take pride in your work and provide a service you’d be willing to put your name to. We’re always looking to improve our practices. I want researchers to go away wanting to come back again and telling all their friends how great a place it was and how good an experience they had.”
