Postdoctoral training is a career stage often described as a demanding and anxiety-laden time when many promising PhDs see their academic dreams slip away due to circumstances beyond their control. We use a unique dataset of academic publishing and careers to chart the more or less successful postdoctoral paths. We build a measure of academic success on the citation patterns two to five years into a faculty career.

Pyrocatechol, also known as catechol, is a commonly used compound in various industries; however, it can be toxic when used in high concentrations. Therefore, developing a highly sensitive electrochemical sensor for detecting pyrocatechol is important. Our study utilized a co-precipitation technique to fabricate a nanostructured nickel aluminum layered double hydroxide (Ni-Al-LDH).
