Our monthly spectroscopy round-up is back! Alison Hulme discusses the spectroscopic techniques she uses to image drugs at the subcellular level in our leading article (with Michael Kurczy providing some commentary from the mass spec side of things). Elsewhere, we dive beneath the caustic atmosphere of our planetary neighbour and explore the world of "cannabeverage" analysis. Happy reading!
