Obituary: Dame Louise Napier Johnson, 1940-2012

Louise Johnson was born in 1940 at Worcester. She studied physics at University College London between 1959 and 1962, moving to the Royal Institution to work with David Phillips, completing her Ph.D. in 1966. For the first time, we began to understand how an enzyme – lysozole – works; in this case, we had strong […]

Obituary: Ivano Bertini (1940-2012)

Ivano Bertini died of lung cancer on July 7, 2012, whilst still fully scientifically active.  He was at the crossroad of many scientific communities, encompassing chemistry, biology, biophysics, spectroscopy and biomedicine.  Academia and society as a whole have lost a unique personality, one that will not be easily forgotten. As many scientists, Ivano did not […]
