When the study of crystallography first began over a century ago, it would take scientists a year to read simple molecular structures. Technology advancements and corroborated methods have since shaped the crystallography landscape; enabling scientists, like Judith Howard, to solve simple molecular structures before her morning coffee! In this final part of our series, Judith explains her love affair with crystallography and the ever-changing methods enabling quicker and simpler decoding or increasingly complex structures. Plus, learn about Judith's experiences working with the inspirational pioneer of crystallography, Dorothy Hodgkin. The interview with Judith Howard took place before her Friday Evening Discourse at the Ri on 31 January 2014.
