Science!

I have a story in the July issue of decomP. decomP is a litmag I've read for quite a while now -- so it's particularly nice to be among its usual great company.

Fun facts about "Headspace Sampler:"

-- I had to learn how a mass spectrometer worked for a science class in college. Even before I wrote this story, it's been a very useful piece of information.
-- I thought briefly about having the exhibit be about something other than criminalistics, since mass spectrometers are used in a variety of labs.
-- The moms probably owe their existence to Grace Paley stories.
-- I've never been to St. Louis, much less their science center. It looks pretty cool, though.

my mom rocked the spectrometer when she worked for Goodyear research. was once given an assignment to analyze multi-colored condoms. they gave her a gross, which was really overkill.

brilliant story, E.
