The analytical calendar looked a little different last year... And though some have relished the chance to attend meetings from the comfort of their home offices (or sofas, or beds), others have yearned for the social aspects of in-person events. Whichever camp you belong to, be sure to check out our timeline of this year's essential conferences (whatever form they may be taking). We’ve also included some quick reads on hardy space microbes, capillary electrophoresis and cannabinoid degradation. Enjoy!
