established symposium, it’s difficult to pick

out individual presentations, although the

sessions on Emerging Raman and SERS

are consistently cutting-edge. Outside the

Raman field and as someone who works in

the application of spectroscopy to industry,

the industrial sessions, including the SAS-

sponsored PAT sessions, are of interest.

From a wider impact perspective, the

ocean plastics and clinic sessions (as well

as the plenary on ocean plastics) are topical

and should be educational.

Networking

I am looking forward to the networking

opportunities that I have as a member

of the Coblentz Society, SAS, IRDG,

ANACHEM, and RSC. In some

cases, it has been a year since I have

seen some of my international friends.

The oral sessions, the poster sessions,

and the exhibit give me a venue to start

discussions and the evening networking

opportunities allow time for these

discussions to be concluded.

Contemporary Issues in

Analytical Science

Chair: Rebecca Airmet, Airmet Editing.

Must-see sessions

One of the core missions of SciX is to

foster unexpected connections between

attendees, and the Contemporary Issues in

Analytical Science section is always a great

opportunity to move the science out of the

lab and into the real world. The section

represents the human counterpoint to the

technical, measurement-driven topics of

the overall conference.

This year’s section embraces social

topics, science advocacy and education,

and development for early-career

professionals. I’m most looking forward

to this year’s session on “Scientists

Easing World Poverty”, which focuses
