Welcome to the January issue, where six experts share their top paper picks in our annual Landmark Literature feature. It’s large scale to microscale in Upfront, with portable Raman in Moorish palaces and the discovery of an important new microprotein in the labs of Yale University. In My View covers a new plasma source in atomic MS, the power of metabolomics and diversity in science. Finally, DuPont’s Barbara Larsen talks to us about proteins and “the Larsen method”, and Gert Desmet shares his intrepid adventures through the funding minefield.

Adventures in Funding
January 25, 2017
For all scientists, the quest for funding can feel relentless – but analytical science, in particular, struggles more than most, often finding itself at the back of the pack. Despite measurement science being the foundation of all (successful) scientific endeavors, it is all too often overlooked by grant reviewers, who tend to favor more attention-grabbing projects over the essential ‘supporting’ role played by analytical research.
