The Power List 2019 – 21-100 (A-Z)
David McCalley
Professor of Bioanalytical Science, University of West England, UK.
Career highlight: Being invited to attend the Festschrift conference held in honor of Lloyd Snyder in Ellecom, The Netherlands, in 2001, where I met many of the researchers responsible for establishing the foundations for modern LC.
Best advice received: After defending my thesis in a viva-voce examination at the University of Bristol, LS Bark advised me to recognize that the most important piece of equipment in the lab was not the latest ultra-high-resolution linked chromatograph-mass spectrometer, but a well-maintained analytical balance.
Nominator comment:“The elusive combination of a great scientist with perfect stage presence; he’s the ‘must see’ event at any conference.”
