E is for electrochemistry
Electrochemistry is like a sophster!
Over the past 4 years I have been (un)fortunate enough to enter the field of electrochemistry. It is a strange field, generally overlooked and left out of chemistry where possible. It's awkward, difficult, unusual and the theory can be a right pain in the bum but generally I love it. It can be such a powerful analytical technique which is great as it can be really obvious when you have a problem with the system you're using in the lab (yes I know this is a bad thing but the problem gets flagged up and is reasonably obvious to start with meaning less wasted samples). It requires patience and a lot of understanding but is worth it in the end.
