Hello and welcome to the 40th anniversary edition of Laboratory News! I am pleased and indeed very proud to bring you this special birthday edition.Starting on p 15 you'll find a special anniversary section where we celebrate the last 40 years of the magazine, and the science and people that have played a part in it. On page 16 we hear from some previous editors-each has put their own inimitable stamp on the publication over the years and each has contributed to the magazine it has become. But we aren't jitst celebrating the magazine as it is today; throughout the last 40 years Lab News has been a stalwart of the science community-and it is a community that has seen many changes and challenges.
