Spectroscopy allows us to spy on molecules invisible to the naked eye. Through a cuvette the spectrophotometer allows us to peer and measure concentrations with the help of Beer!

The Beer Lambert law (Beer’s law) allows you to convert between concentration (c) of a dissolved thing (solute) & absorbance of light. Don't have a lot - use a NanoDrop so the UV-Vis fun don't stop! http://bit.ly/beerslawexplained

Do you listen to your spectrograph peaks when they try to speak? Or just look at highest 1 & assume purification's done? Peakiest peak *might* tell concentration - but rest can reveal contamination!

About her work on DNA, there's much to say - but she also did work on coal that's really cool! It’s hard enough to try to get Rosalind Franklin credit for contributions to solving structure of DNA...
