Hello all. For this week’s Spectroscopist newsletter we’ve chosen to highlight some short-yet-sweet stories on the research happening in spectroscopy right now. The first two highlight the technique’s role as a guiding light (get it?) in exploring mysterious unknowns, while the latter two showcase the method’s utility in medical care. I hope you enjoy the read(s), and I also hope you’re all staying safe in these troubling times.

Wishing you all the best, Matthew Hallam, Editor
