It is with great sadness that we confirm the sudden and unexpected death of two of our students following a major incident in #Nottingham city centre overnight. We are shocked and devastated by the news and our thoughts are with those affected, their families and friends. (1/2)

Earlier this year, Prof Ted Milton passed away. I miss him so much - a great scientist, the best mentor and a true friend. The godfather of field spectroscopy... many of us learned so much from him. We wrote a little thing about his life + legacy ... tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Reflections on the scientific life and legacy of Professor Ted Milton (10 April 1954 – 8 June 2021)
