Michael's guest this week is a distinguished academic and scientist with more than half a century’s experience of his discipline behind him. Today is the 30th April 2020 and Dr. Charles Jefford, Professor Emeritus of Organic Chemistry at the University of Geneva, is at the other end of a Zoom microphone and screen because we are still in COVID-19 lockdown mode and cannot meet face to face.

Professor Jefford is a graduate of the Universities of Oxford and Princeton as well as Visiting Professor at the Universities of Strasbourg, Marseille, Princeton, and in Japan, the Universities of Kyushu and Ryukyus.
