Interview Jonathan Goodman

Jonathan Goodman is Reader in Chemistry at the University of Cambridge University and Clare College. He became interested in computational chemistry 

Goodman remains firm in his commitment to a high goal for computations If we want to understand a reaction we need to be able to draw a picture on a fume cupboard that an experimentalist will understand.
