Here at CG we celebrate the work of great scientists by choosing one to spotlight each quarter as our FEATURED SCIENTIST. These brilliant people are quietly working away doing amazing – and often quite under-reported – things! So we like to bring some attention to their efforts as they push forward the boundaries of human knowledge.
