Thursday, @ 6:00pm at the PittCon offices in Penn Center

 The purpose of the meeting was to develop an agenda for the coming year.  The following topics were discussed as possibilities:

1. A one day class on Bioinformatics in November
2. A session on mass spec applications in Forensics and Bio-terrorism type analyses, etc. in February
3. A one day session on inorganic mass spec analysis such as laser ablation ICPMS, isotopic analysis as applied to geochemical / archeological dating such as C-14, etc. in May
4. A dinner meeting and lab tour such as Neogen sometime during the year
5. A dinner meeting with a 10-15 minute presentation by some of the members on a mass spec topic of current interest.

Kasi is already working on getting a speaker for the Bioinformatics class.

If you would be interested in taking the lead to make arrangements for any of these, or any other topic, please let me know.
