JAAS Poster Prize: Biennial National Atomic Spectroscopy Symposium

We are pleased to announce that the JAAS Poster Prize from the recent BNASS meeting on Clinical, Environmental and Nutritional Investigations of Trace Elements and Human Health has been awarded to Gillian Lord from the University of Surrey. This was a joint meeting from the RSC Atomic Spectroscopy Group and the Southern Region of the Association for Clinical Biochemistry and was held at the University of Surrey on July 4th, 2012.

JAAS Poster Prize Winner: Gillian Lord

Gillian is currently studying towards a PhD in Analytical Chemistry at the University of Surrey, UK, with the principal aim of looking at water quality in relation to human health. Her research began in New Zealand through a collaborative project with Waikato Regional Council in Hamilton, to evaluate the levels of arsenic and other trace elements in geothermal waters of the Taupo Volcanic Zone. Particularly, the levels of arsenic species through the application of a novel field based technology, developed at the University Surrey, to separate the four predominant arsenic species in water at sample collection. This research highlighted a potential risk of arsenic exposure through bathing in geothermal pools containing high levels of arsenic in the form of the more toxic inorganic arsenic species. Since then her research has expanded to Argentina, working closely with two towns in the province of Santa Fe, to evaluate water quality, namely the levels of arsenic, selenium and other trace elements, in relation to local health problems, including diabetes, obesity, cancers and behavioural difficulties.

Congratulations to Gillian for her winning poster!

JAAS celebrates 25th anniversary at BNASS!

BNASS 2010 was held as a one-day meeting this year on the 7th July in Cambridge. The meeting was attended by JAAS Deputy Editor Vibhuti Patel, and was a combination of Manufacturere User Group Meetings from ThermoFisher Scientific and Agilent Technologies, four keynote speakers and an interactive poster session and mixer.

The speakers were:

Clive Thompson, ALcontrol Laboratories, Yorkshire, UK
Katrin Loeschner, National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark
Jackie Morton, Health and Safety Laboratory, Buxton, UK
Barry Sharp, Loughborough University, UK

Continuing the celebrations of 25 years of publication, there was a JAAS sponsored lunch for delegates, followed by birthday cake! Happily, our 25th anniversary co-incided with 30 years of BNASS, so there was even more reason to celebrate.

A JAAS poster prize was also presented to the best poster, and this was awarded to Liz Leese from HSL (Health and Safety Laboratory), UK. Well done!
