For more years than I care to remember, I have worked in inorganic trace analytical chemistry. I am an expert at measuring very, very little in almost anything you like; environmental samples (soil; river or lake sediments; vegetation etc), marine samples (corals, sediment cores, surface sediments, fish tissue, seaweed etc) or clinical samples (blood, plasma, serum, urine etc). I use plasma mass spectrometry to determine trace and ultra-trace elemental concentrations and isotopic ratios. I write scientific papers and reports and lecture on trace analysis. I have been a frequent participant at scientific conferences and have made invited, oral and poster contributions.
