🧠🌍 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 💪 #IMSC2026 #massspectrometry #Lyon #eventprofs #sciences #ScientificCommittee

“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." - R. Graham Cooks (@AstonlabsPurdue) 👏🏼 brnw.ch/21wBY0s
