Summary
The Conference on Small Molecule Science (CoSMoS) fostered practical discussions among analytical scientists. This event focused on sharing
Area of Science:
- Analytical Chemistry
- Small Molecule Science
Background:
- The Conference on Small Molecule Science (CoSMoS) convened analytical scientists from diverse backgrounds.
- The Society for Small Molecule Science organized the event to promote practical 'how to' discussions.
Framework:
- CoSMoS featured highly interactive workshop environments.
- The conference included six plenary and five workshop sessions.
- Discussions covered both successful methods and challenges encountered ('what didn't work').
Implementation:
- CoSMoS 2010 was held in Portland, Oregon, USA, from September 27-29.
- The meeting was jointly hosted with the Small Molecule NMR Spectroscopy (SMASH) meeting.
- The final day's program integrated topics from both interdisciplinary groups.
Implications:
- Fostered practical knowledge exchange in small molecule science.
- Facilitated interdisciplinary collaboration between analytical chemists and NMR spectroscopists.
- Provided valuable insights into experimental challenges and solutions.
