This week we’re homing in on our November cover feature. In the first piece, the Coalition of Black Mass Spectrometrists share the origins and aims of their initiative and tell us what still needs to change in the field. Next up, Isiah Warner discusses the importance of mentorship to Black analytical scientists and Renã Robinson delves into the power of advocacy – as well as her role at NOBCChE. Finally, Devin Swiner (co-founder of #BlackInChem) tells us about the power of social media and the plans for the future.

I hope you enjoy reading these interviews! Lauren Robertson, Deputy Editor
