Title: Why Do Chemical and Pharmaceutical Companies Care Why the Sky is Blue? 

Abstract: Much of modern physics is driven by studying scattering experiments.  Recently multiangle light scattering (MALS) and related techniques have become indispensable tools in analytical chemistry labs, with applications that span material science, polymer physics, pharmaceutical, and vaccine development.   Hear how “blue sky” physics contributes to the development of many of the products and medicines that improve our lives.
