Scientific research funding December 14, 2016 by chrismadden A cartoon about the funding of scientific research. A cartoon about a clash between scientific research and the vested interests of the funder of the research. It’s also a cartoon about alchemy and the quest to turn base metal into gold. This is an example of my cartoon strip published in Chemistry World, the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry, round 2014 – 2015. Here are more of my chemistry cartoons from Chemistry World magazine. Cartoon reference number: a716
