How has chemistry changed in the past two decades?
To celebrate our 20th anniversary, we're taking a trip through the archives. This month we have our Editor, @PhilTRobinson, highlighting some of his favourite January issues from years past – including our first-ever edition!

@samknives As long as the soundtrack feels like Leone. Or Copland. Maybe Jerome Moross. The trailer hints worryingly at the modern movie soundtrack trend of just going "Blaaaaarp" a lot.

All this @NorfolkRDerby photo editing has got me in a spin...

@andyextance Great work Andy. Glad to see this finally out - I hope I was able to help in some small way, and am pleased to hear BM is doing well.

[Andy Extance @andyextance]

I am privileged that BM, a #chemistry PhD student who was intentionally poisoned with thallium, trusted me to tell his story. For over a decade, he has fought to regain the abilities he had before the poisoning. The story just published in @cenmag 1/5 https://t.co/gpGJVGc2t1

We're looking for a new Digital Content Assistant at @ChemistryWorld. It's a great chance to get your foot in the door of science journalism! I'm biased, but it's also in a supportive, friendly team.
