A Tribute to Veronika Meyer
The CHIMIA column ‘Highlights of Analytical Sciences in Switzerland’ https://www.chimia.ch/chimia/catalog/category/analytical is one of the oldest and most consistently published columns to appear in CHIMIA. The columns are an undeniable success story, showcasing the excellent research that has been and is carried out in Switzerland in the field of analytical sciences.
This is all entirely thanks to Veronika Meyer, who initiated the column (then called Highlights of Analytical Chemistry in Switzerland) in 2005 and who served as its editor for the past 20 years. As a passionate, recognized analytical chemist (honoured as IUPACs Distinguished Woman in Chemistry in 2017), author of a highly successful book ‘Practical High-Performance Liquid Chromatography’, and mountaineer (climbing Qomolangma), she has always sought new heights. She was able to identify and select important reports on cutting-edge research in the analytical sciences in Switzerland.
After 200 columns, Veronika Meyer has now passed the editorship of the Highlights of Analytical Sciences in Switzerland column to Bodo Hattendorf https://doi.org/10.2533/chimia.2025.816.
In tribute to Veronika’s excellent efforts, the Editorial Board of CHIMIA has created a virtual issue of all the columns edited by her since 2005. https://www.chimia.ch/chimia/virtual_issue_analytical
