We’ve had a busy year (perhaps too busy to post consistently!), so here goes a recap:

🧠🌍 Meet the IMSC 2026 Scientific Committee!
A few weeks ago, we launched a call for applications and nominations to build the Scientific Committee for IMSC 2026.
Why?
Because #IMSC2026 is deeply committed to transparency and diversity, and we wanted a committee that truly reflects the richness of our global community. 🌐🤝
🎯 This Scientific Committee plays a central role in the congress:
- Reviewing and assigning abstracts to sessions (oral and poster)
- Supporting the structure and coherence of the scientific program
- Ensuring that our values of representation and innternational cooperation are embedded in every part of IMSC 2026
🌟 Today, we’re excited to kick off a series of 5 posts, each one presenting the Scientific Committee members by theme.
We start with Theme #1: Fundamentals, Instrumentation and Data 🧪📊
👏 You’ll discover an inspiring mix of emerging talents and established researchers, representing a wide range of countries, disciplines, and perspectives.
A huge thank you to everyone who applied, nominated, or helped spread the word — this Committee is the result of a truly collective effort 💪

During the #HammerDownCancer @BoilerFootball game on Friday, we had the honor of presenting R. Graham Cooks with the game ball.
A leader in the field of mass spectrometry, Cooks and his team @AstonlabsPurdue develop new scientific technology and medical instruments that enable scientists and physicians to detect and treat cancer, improving the lives of patients worldwide.

“There is a lack of appreciation of the intricacies of analytical science by other disciplines (especially chemists) who see it as little more than an exercise in measurement using commercial instrumentation."
