Alexander Whiteside
I joined the Royal Society of Chemistry as a Publishing Editor in the journals section in 2016. In 2021 I moved in to the role of Development Editor on our materials chemistry portfolio. In addition to my responsibilities as an editor, I also contribute to Chemistry World.
My interests include good coffee, art, cinema, and amateur astronomy.
