As usual, we do not pretend that our list is definitive – but we hope it is predictive… Covering everything from mass spec to SFC to pharma, foodomics and forensics, we hope you’ll agree that this year’s Power Listers make for an inspiring mix. Read on to discover their passions, pivotal moments and predictions. In short, welcome to the 2016 Power List.
The Power List 2016
Rich Whitworth completed his studies in medical biochemistry at the University of Leicester, UK, in 1998. To cut a long story short, he escaped to Tokyo to spend five years working for the largest English language publisher in Japan. "Carving out a career in the megalopolis that is Tokyo changed my outlook forever. When seeing life through such a kaleidoscopic lens, it's hard not to get truly caught up in the moment." On returning to the UK, after a few false starts with grey, corporate publishers, Rich was snapped up by Texere Publishing, where he spearheaded the editorial development of The Analytical Scientist. "I feel honored to be part of the close-knit team that forged The Analytical Scientist – we've created a very fresh and forward-thinking publication." Rich is now also Content Director of Texere Publishing, the company behind The Analytical Scientist.
