    • Greetings from Halifax!

    Alan Doucette here. I want to officially welcome you to join us out here on the East Coast, and experience our Maritime hospitality first hand (including our world-famous lobster rolls)

    We've already started putting together an exciting scientific program.  Expect some of your old favorites to be back, and maybe a few new topics as well.  Past sessions include:

    - Agricultural and food safety
    - Environmental analysis
    - Forensics
    - Nanomaterials
    - NMR
    - Mass Spectrometry / Separations
    - Chemical and Isotopic Speciation Analysis
    - Electrochemical and Surface Analysis
    - Inductively Coupled Plasma / LIBS

    If you are interested in chairing a session (from the above list - or something new), we'd love to hear from you! Just send me an email (doucette.dal@gmail.com)

    For the early planners out there, our meetings will take place at the Dalhousie University Student Union Building, June 17-19, 2026.
