Meetings
EASTERN ANALYTICAL SYMPOSIUM The 36th Annual Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) will he held at the Garden State Convention and Exhibit Center in Somerset, NJ, Nov. 16-21. The meeting is sponsored by the Division of Analytical Chemistry and the New York and North Jersey Sections of the American Chemical Society; the American Microchemical Society; the Chromatography Forum of Delaware Valley; and the New England and New York Sections of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy. Seventy-nine oral sessions are scheduled from Monday, Nov. 16, through Thursday, Nov. 21. An exposition of scientific instruments and supplies will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Monday through Wednesday; and from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.. on Thursday. Approximately 200 exhibit booths are anticipated. The program will feature symposia honoring this year's award recipients: Jonathan Sweedler of the University of Illinois will receive the ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry Young Investigator Award; Barry L. Karger of Northeastern University will receive the EAS Award for Achievements in Separation Science; Svante Wold of Umea University will receive the EAS Award for Achievements in Near-Infrared Spectroscopy; Paul C. Lauterbur of the University of Illinois will receive the EAS Award for Achievements in Magnetic Resonance Richard N. Zare of Stanford University will receive the EAS 620 A
Award for Outstanding Achievements in the Fields of Analytical Chemistry; John Dorsey of Florida State University will receive the American Microchemical Society Benedetti-Pichler Award; Koichi Nishikida of Perkin-Elmer will receive the New York Section of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy Gold Medal Award; and Tormod Naes of Norwegian Food Research Institute will receive the EAS Award for Achievements in Chemometrics. Twenty-seven EAS-sponsored short courses, 21 exhibitor workshops, 8 conferences-in-miniature, and 7 tutorials are scheduled. ACS will sponsor 14 short courses in conjunction with the meeting (see page 621 A).
