Sitting Down With… Ulrich Panne, President of BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, and Professor at Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany.

The chemical analysis chain is only strong if the quality system takes into account each and every link – including those that can sometimes be neglected or forgotten.

More than a year has passed since I expressed my hopes for chemometrics to take center stage in this magazine. Where are we now?

It is clear that analytical science is interdisciplinary, but what exists at its heart –and how do we instill that in students?

Conventional bulk ion-selective sensors have been extensively studied and are well understood. Now, they must be miniaturized for cutting-edge applications, allowing us to blur the line between sensing and bulk solution chemistry.

Having attended Pat Sandra’s lecture at Riva 2014 and read The Analytical Scientist’s feature on sample preparation, I can certainly say that Pat has succeeded in igniting discussion on the topic. Here’s my silver Sickle’s worth.
