Roy Goodacre
Professor of Biological Chemistry, University of Liverpool, UK.
Career highlight: This summer I woke up on the sand of a river bank in northern Australia and was transported by helicopter to an inland escarpment, where we used a portable point-and-shoot Raman spectroscopy device to investigate the chemistry of pigments used in aboriginal rock art – pretty cool and exciting stuff!
Best advice received: I was once told “early to bed, early to rise, work hard and advertise” with regards to conferences. Today I’ve adapted this to “late to bed, early to rise, work hard and advertise” and I think it’s worked rather well.
