The Analytical Scientist

Ice core analysis takes us on a journey through 2,000 years of climate (and human) history, and we speak to two bioanalytical experts about their distinct approaches to monitoring COVID-19 in our June issue. Plus, Thomas Letzel gives his thoughts on the power of analytical education throughout our careers, and Isabelle François talks us through her life in research, including her recent jump into the world of private consulting. And that’s not all – join us in “the cloud,” as we gain unprecedented insight into the challenges involved in shifting entire ASMS conference 2020 online in a matter of weeks, with Rick Yost and Jennifer Watson.
