Eric Richardson, Chemical Abstracts Service
You'll have to read further to find out! There are so many interesting things about this article—it's the first in a series based on presentations from the SATURN conference. My first college degree was in chemistry, so there was an immediate connection for me with this story about chemical abstracts. The author brings us architectural wisdom, combined with an agile point of view and weather forecasting.
