1986 GORDON
The aim of the Gordon Research Conferences is to extend the frontiers of science by fostering a free and informal exchange of ideas among those actively involved in research in particular fields. At each conference, meetings are held in the morning and evening, Monday through Friday, except Friday evening. The afternoons are available for recreation, reading, or participation in study or discussion groups. To promote discussion and to protect individual rights, it is the established requirement of each conference that no information presented be used without the specific authorization of the individual making the contribution. Recording of lectures and photographing of slides also are prohibited. This year, four conferences are of particular interest to the analytical chemistry community: analytical chemistry; electron spectroscopy; separation and purification; and vibrational spectroscopy. Technical schedules for these conferences follow. Other conferences of interest to analytical chemists include bioelectrochemistry; corrosion; environmental sciences (water); immobilized systems in biotechnology; lasers in biology and medicine; magnetic resonance in biology and medicine; multiphoton processes; nondestructive evaluation; statistics in chemistry and chemical engineering; and water and aqueous solutions. Individuals interested in attending one of the conferences must submit an application on the application form issued by the Gordon Research Conferences. This procedure is important because specific information is required so that a fair decision on the applica-
