Pack your swimsuits, folks – this year’s Pittcon is in Orlando, Florida. The lectures and symposia tip a cap both to experienced scientists and early career researchers, and as ever, the networking sessions – covering everything from social media to lab safety – provide plenty of opportunities to share ideas with fellow scientists. There’s also a new feature this year: NEXUS, a “hub of interactive presentations providing education, entertainment, networking and more” – including a VR experience and a LEGO car race. As for The Analytical Scientist team? When we’re not at stand #3056, we’ll be attending the sessions below. Symposia

About the Author(s)

Joanna Cummings

A former library manager and storyteller, I have wanted to write for magazines since I was six years old, when I used to make my own out of foolscap paper and sellotape and distribute them to my family. Since getting my MSc in Publishing, I’ve worked as a freelance writer and content creator for both digital and print, writing on subjects such as fashion, food, tourism, photography – and the history of Roman toilets.
