Harriet Brewerton
I graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2007 and joined the Royal Society of Chemistry in the same year. Since then I have worked on a range of databases and journals, and I am currently a publishing editor in the Analytical team. My role involves handling the peer review of submissions right through to editing accepted articles, and writing regularly for Chemistry World.
