John Vickerman: A Celebration of a Career in SIMS

Posted on by

In 2013, John celebrates his 70th birthday. To mark this occasion, and a career devoted to the development of secondary ion mass spectrometry – including instrumentation, theory and applications – we invite you to a special scientific meeting on October 11 in the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology.

We are delighted to have an international programme of outstanding quality, with confirmed contributions from the following speakers:

There will be a celebration dinner and we hope that as many attendees as possible will be able to join us for that.

Registration for the meeting is available here: http://www.massspecmanchester.org/symposia/registration/

Please mark October 11 in your diaries! If you have any questions, please contact Graham Leggett (graham.leggett@sheffield.ac.uk) or Nick Lockyer (nick.lockyer@manchester.ac.uk).

Further information can be found on the MassSpectrometry@Manchester site.
