The Canadian Society for Mass Spectrometry (CSMS) is a society dedicated to the promotion of mass spectrometry. There are over 200 CSMS members involved in mass spectrometric research and development in university, industrial and governmental laboratories. The CSMS publishes a newsletter every six months and hosts the Tandem Mass Spectrometry Workshop in Lake Louise, Alberta at the The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise (December 3-6, 2008).
The CSMS makes several awards during the year. At the Lake
Louise
meeting, The Lossing Award recognizes
significant
contributions made to mass spectrometry by a Canadian mass
spectrometrist,
and commemorates the achievements of Fredrick P. Lossing. The
award
is sponsored by Varian
Canada and consists of a monetary sum and a print of a painting
of the Lake Louise area by Kinsella.
Also,
three
awards of a travel grant of $2000 (CA) are made to allow senior
Graduate
Students to travel to and present at the
Lake Louise Tandem Mass Spectrometry Workshop . The committee
encourages
applications from interested individuals conducting research in mass
spectrometry.
These student awards are supported by SCIEX,
Waters/Micromass
and Thermo Fisher Scientific.
In addition to the Lake Louise
student
travel awards, Agilent
Technologies
Canada Inc.,
and Canadian
Life Science Inc. (NEW,
starting 2010) each sponsor a student travel award
($2000CA ea) to support student travel
to
ASMS meetings. Please see the Awards page for
details of application.
The CSMS Executive Committee is requesting nominations for the
following
awards:

UPCOMING CONFERENCES AND COURSES
The 45th Annual Western Canada
Trace Organic Workshop will
be held in
This workshop will provide
an opportunity to describe progress in methods development; present
research,
completed and work in progress; discuss problems; share information
concerning
testing activities; and provide updates concerning new testing
technologies in
relation to trace organic analysis of food, feeds, air, tissues,
plants, soils
and water.
We invite participants to
make oral presentations of about 20 minutes in duration (prepared using
PowerPoint). Please note that since this
is an informal scientific meeting, presentations do not need to be
highly
polished. For those not wanting to make an oral presentation, there
will be
limited space (first come first served) set up for posters.
Registration costs for the
workshop is $200.00 ($75.00 for students, maximum 20 student seats
available).
