JAAS News

Our JAAS  board members have certainly been busy this month. Many of them attended the 14th Rio Symposium on Atomic Spectrometry meeting, in Vitória City, Brazil, 2nd – 7th April. They barely had time to catch their breath before attending the Royal Society of Chemistry Seminar at UFSM, 10th April, at the Federal University of Santa Maria, Brazil. This was organised by JAAS Editorial Board member Erico Flores (UFSM). It was attended by JAAS Editorial Board member Jörg Feldmann (University of Aberdeen) and JAAS Editorial Board Chair Martin Resano (University of Zaragoza). Lectures and talks were given by Erico, Jörg and Martin, along with Eva Krupp (University of Aberdeen).

The meeting was a complete success, with registration demand exceeding the number of available spaces. Meeting participants were a mixture of researchers from various scientific fields. Audience engagement was exceptional and the questions and answers at the end had to go on for an extra hour!

The quality of the seminar’s content was top notch, which is no surprise, considering the line-up of speakers. Participants now have no excuse about not knowing how to  submit to JAAS after Martin Resano’s talk: “How to publish in RSC journals”. Other topics included “From rice to whales – a journey into mercury speciation”. All of the talks and lectures were met with great enthusiasm.

Congratulations to Erico, for the success of the seminar, and a huge thank you to all participants and speakers. Due to the success of the meeting, JAAS will very certainly look into holding future events in Brazil.

CSI XL 2017 will be held from 11th – 16th June, 2017, in Pisa, Italy.

The 40th Edition of CSI “represents a historic forum among scientists presenting and discussing recent developments in fundamentals and applications in all branches of  Spectroscopy”.

The conference’s programme includes a mixture of oral presentations, poster presentations, plenary, invited and keynote lectures. Topics covered will be wide ranging, from nuclear techniques to food analysis.

JAAS Deputy Editor Rebecca Brodie will be attending CSI XL. Come and say hello to Rebecca and have a chat about JAAS, the Royal Society of Chemistry and publishing in general.

Please feel free to get in touch before the conference to arrange a meeting.

Will you be at EWCPS 2017 on 19th – 24th February in Sankt Anton Am Arlberg, Austria?

The European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry (EWCPS) will be held in Sankt Anton, Austria, this February. If you are attending the meeting, why not find me and have a chat about JAAS, the important work of the Royal Society of Chemistry, and publishing in general. Allow me to explain why our journal is the best home for your research.

Please feel free to get in touch with me before the conference to arrange a meeting.

I look forward to meeting you in Sankt Anton!

The annual seminar “A Guide to Plasma Spectrochemistry – From sample digestion to practical analytical examples” was held at the JASIS Conference in Makuhari, Japan on 6th September 2016.

One of the  winners of the Poster Prize competition was Ms Mari Aida from Tokyo Institute Technology with her poster “Desorption/ionization mass spectrometry method for mapping of skin-surface compounds using low power laser and non-thermal plasma”.

The other winner was Mr Yuuki Tanaka from Kyoto University with his poster “Evaluating the changes in bone mineral balance for CKD and Diabetic model rat through the Calcium isotopic signatures”.

Congratulations to Yuuki and Mari!

Will you be at LIBS 2016 on Sept 12-14 in Chamonix, France?
