August 2020 Issue of The Analytical Scientist

Our August cover feature transports the reader to The Analytical Scientist pop-up gallery, where we explore the myriad analytical methods behind the detail of David Goodsell’s biological watercolors. Plus, we usher in our (Bio)pharma Special Series for the latter half of 2020 with a guest editorial from RIC CEO Koen Sandra and a second feature exploring the use of techniques from NMR to charge-detection MS to understand and target the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Zoë Ayres also shares her views on protecting the mental health of analysts, and Emma Wilson outlines the RSC’s plan to tackle gender inequality in academic publishing.
