The Pittsburgh Conference has released the Call for Papers for Pittcon 2006, the 57th annual Pittsburgh Conference and Exposition, which will be held March 12-17, 2006 in Orlando, Florida. This year's theme, "Foundations for Science" reflects the Conference's goal to showcase the core tools of analytical chemistry (chromatography, electrochemistry) and spectroscopy (Mass spectrometry, UV-VIS spectroscopy) and to facilitate the convergence of these quantitative techniques with qualitative bioresearch and drug discovery. The committee has selected 26 invited symposia for next year's Conference; subjects include Bioterrorism, Bioanalytical Methods, Chromatographic Techniques and Spectroelectrochemical Methods. Abstracts are being solicited in a broad range of scientific disciplines such as physical science, nanotechnology, environmental science, forensics, informatics, quality assurance, statistics, pharmaceutical science and food safety The deadline for submitting abstracts is Monday, August 1, 2005. Abstracts must be submitted electronically via the Pittcon website. About The Pittsburgh Conference and Exposition
