CAST researchers Andrea Gargano and Bob Pirok were featured for the second time in a row in the Top 40 Under 40 by The Analytical Scientists. The magazine has published profiles of all listed scientists, including their analyses of the current state of affairs, their predictions for the future, and their personal mission statements.
The magazine presents the list as a celebration of ‘analytical science’s rising stars, who will, hopefully, provide the answers to the 21st century’s biggest questions’. It was compiled upon nomination by the readers of the magazine and shortlisting by an independent panel of expert judges.
"Modern separation technology, especially multi-dimensional, has the capabilities to crack many analytical problems in public and private labs. It is unacceptable that you rarely see this stuff applied in routine environments."
I think analytical science needs to grow even more into a more multidisciplinary and broader community rather than following a spiral of hyper-specialization.
