Welcome to the January issue, where six experts share their top paper picks in our annual Landmark Literature feature. It’s large scale to microscale in Upfront, with portable Raman in Moorish palaces and the discovery of an important new microprotein in the labs of Yale University. In My View covers a new plasma source in atomic MS, the power of metabolomics and diversity in science. Finally, DuPont’s Barbara Larsen talks to us about proteins and “the Larsen method”, and Gert Desmet shares his intrepid adventures through the funding minefield.
