Last month, Herbert Knauer celebrated his 85th birthday – and nearly 55 years at Knauer. Perhaps more impressive, however, is the fact that he’s still doing what he loves: working meticulously at his workbench on new inventions for the company his daughter (Alexandra) now runs. If there’s a more experienced inventor out there in the world of analytical science, we’d love to know about it. In the meantime, Happy Birthday Dr Knauer!

Rich Whitworth

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.
