The Inside Back Cover picture illustrates how the naturally‐occurring molecule, ricinoleic acid, can be transformed by small, easily‐accomplished structural manipulations into an extensive series of excellent gelators of organic liquids. Sometimes in science, simpler is better. More information can be found in the Full Paper by M. Zhang and R. G. Weiss on page 4059 in Issue 24, 2016 (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.201600902).
