I am currently working on the May 1 issue of the ezines for http://www.spectroscopynow.com. News items in the areas of X-ray spectroscopy of volcanic ash from Eyjafjallajökull, molecular magnetism of uranium complexes, cloud cover and climate models, brain imaging of Buddhist decision makers, infrared clues to blocked drains, and an explanation as to how surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) actually works all feature. Watch out for the updates as each item goes live via my Sciencebase Delicious Feed and on Facebook.
