Author(s): Peter B. Stockwell
Conclusion
Laboratory automation is essential in chemical analysis and should be included in undergraduate teaching programs, but many professors are only teaching the basics.
Supporting Evidence
- Laboratory automation has become commonplace but is not adequately taught in universities.
- Many university professors are only teaching the bare essentials of automation philosophy.
- Previous university groups focused on automation have not flourished due to various challenges.
Takeaway
Laboratory automation is important for chemistry students, but many teachers aren't teaching it well. We need better training for future scientists.
Limitations
The editorial discusses the lack of comprehensive training in laboratory automation and the decline of university groups focused on this area.
