Whilst at Riva 2014 (the 38th ISCC and 11th GCxGC Symposium), Rich Whitworth, editor of The Analytical Scientist, invited three key participants of the conference to take part in an exciting new video project: “Tea With...”, an ongoing series of informal interviews with key analytical scientists in glorious settings around the globe.
And who would be a more fabulous first interviewee than the Chair of Riva 2014 himself, Luigi Mondello? Set in the gardens of a beautiful old villa in Riva del Garda, Italy, our first video sees Luigi thanking Pat Sandra for the wonderful toy (Riva) and introducing his latest grand research project. Not to mention camera drone footage over the lake… Enjoy!
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.
