Professor John Fenn
Professor John Fenn passed away on Friday December 10 at the age of 93. Professor Fenn received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2002 for his work in electrospray ionization, and he remained a mainstay at scientific conferences and an active researcher well into his 90’s. Professor Fenn was also an active mentor and friend to younger scientists and went out of his way to encourage students in their scientific pursuits-particularly in teaching pursuits.

Professor Benli Huang and Professor Zheming Ni were both named recipients of the 2010 Asia-Pacific Winter Plasma Conference Award for their long history of work in atomic spectroscopy. Professor Huang is also the honorary chairman of the conference, and was on-hand to receive the award while Professor Ni was unable to attend, but sent her regrets via Professor Yang. These two excellent analytical chemists represent a long history of great work in atomic spectroscopy, and this honor is well deserved!

Prof. Kay Niemax
Professor Kay Niemax and coauthors S.Groh, C.C. Garcia, A. Murtazin, and H. Horvatic have been named winners of the 2009 Elsevier/Spectrochemica Atomic Spectroscopy Award in recognition of their paper “Local effects of atomizing analyte droplets on the plasma parameters of the inductively coupled plasma”, Spectrochim. Acta Part B 64 (2009) 247-254.
The award is given by the editorial board of the journal Spectrochimica Acta, Part B in recognition of the most significant manuscript published in the journal in that year.
Congratulations to this talented group of researchers!
Professor Joe Caruso
Professor Joe Caruso of the University of Cincinnati was recently named a Fellow of the Society of Applied Spectroscopy in recognition of his significant contributions to the field of atomic spectroscopy and his tireless efforts on behalf of the SAS. Prof. Caruso served as chairman of the editorial board of JAAS, and is currently the chairman of the editorial board of the sister-publication Metallomics.
Congratulations Joe!

JAAS and the RSC are proud to support a very special symposium celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Journal of Analytical Atomic Spectrometry: “The JAAS Silver Anniversary Celebration: Highlighting Young Investigators in Atomic Spectroscopy“. In celebrating the heritage of JAAS, the board is choosing to focus on the bright future of the journal, which is exemplified in the excellence of young investigators in atomic spectroscopy. The symposium will be held on October 12,2010 at the 2010 FACSS conference in Raleigh, NC. We are proud to have an exciting lineup of invited speakers:
If you happen to be at FACSS this year- check it out on Tuesday morning!
The RSC was a principle sponsor of the recent 2010 US-China Workshop on Analytical Chemistry held at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN, USA.
The 2-day conference sought to forge better ties between analytical chemists working in the two countries, and to promote the well-being of the discipline of Analytical Chemistry in the future. Over 30 prominent analytical chemists from both countries in several working groups to address the following issues:
The groups made suggestions to both the National Science Foundation(US) and the Chinese National Science Foundation. Thanks to the RSC and JAAS for supporting the future of Analytical Chemistry.
