“ ... Cross-cultural collaboration, when it works, is synergistic, and brings understanding between partners that neither is likely to be able to develop alone. There are people in the world that know something, but nobody knows everything. International collaborations in science bring together and capitalize on the dispersal of knowledge and resources across the globe, and the human desire to advance knowledge ...” Read more in the Editorial by Joseph S.

Gerhard Quinkert, emeritus professor at the University of Frankfurt, passed away on May 6, 2015. The chemistry community has lost a passionate teacher and a researcher with foresight, and independent, firm opinions who argued from early on that organic chemistry should open up to address questions in biology.
