By Emma FosterIt’s common for people to put aside the often-dreaded task of updating their resume until they’re ready to look for a new job.

significance of what I was making (or trying to make!) was lost on
me. My focus was on trying to get the reaction to work in the time
I had available before the laboratory shut.
