Scientific heroes
There are several people who have directly or indirectly inspired me since the early years of my career: Curt Brunnee (former director of R&D of Finnigan MAT and polymath), Lidya Gall (one of the inventors of electrospray), A. Mamyrin (inventor of reflectron).

What’s next?
We are working on making Orbitrap mass spectrometry faster, more sensitive and easier to own and apply.

The Magnificent Tens
After 2016’s celebration of women in analytical science, we return to the Top 100 for 2017.
But there’s a twist. This summer, we asked you to nominate scientists in ten categories – from the stars of separation science, to omics explorers, to the mentors training the next generation.
