in 1875, countries agreed that a metre should mean the same thing everywhere. 📏

It sounds obvious - but until then, it didn’t. The same measurement could vary between cities and between countries. Engineering specifications didn’t always translate, and disputes over quantities and quality were common.

To fix this, nations signed a landmark agreement, establishing a shared system and a central authority to maintain it.

For decades, the solution relied on a precisely manufactured metal bar, stored under controlled conditions in a vault near Paris. If that bar changed, even slightly, so did the definition of a metre.

Today, the metre is defined using the speed of light. No physical object required.

💬Do you know what this agreement was called?

Impurities can emerge at every stage of pharmaceutical manufacturing: from raw materials and process intermediates to packaging and storage. Managing them effectively is essential for product quality, patient safety, and regulatory compliance.

Our whitepaper, "Managing impurities in pharmaceutical manufacturing", explores key impurity challenges and practical strategies to help manufacturers strengthen control throughout the product lifecycle.

Download the whitepaper to explore:
🎯 Common sources of pharmaceutical impurities
🎯 Regulatory and analytical considerations
🎯Strategies for impurity identification and control
🎯Approaches to support quality and compliance

in 1796, a doctor tested a radical idea: could exposure to cowpox protect against smallpox?

The inspiration came from an everyday observation - milkmaids rarely caught the deadly disease.

💡That experiment laid the foundation for vaccination, transforming medicine and saving millions of lives.

💬 Can you name the scientist behind this discovery?

📚✨ Welcome to our first edition of the Science Book Club!

This week, we’re thrilled to feature Joe Lackey, our Technical Manager at LGC Standards. Joe recently read The Code Breaker by Walter Isaacson, a compelling portrait of Jennifer Doudna and her groundbreaking work in DNA editing.

Joe highlights the rapid transition from discovery to real-world applications, addressing critical questions about the ethical implications of gene editing. As he puts it, “If you can remove disease, it’s hard to argue against it. But where do we draw the line?”

What are your thoughts on gene editing? Have you read this book or have other recommendations? Got a science book you’d recommend? Let us know in the comments! 👇
