I would like to call you attention to the 3rd International Symposium on
Isotopomers to be held August 27th through August 30th 2006  on the campus
of the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla, California, USA.
http://isi2006.ucsd.edu/.  The symposium focus is aimed at research using
multiple element isotopes within the same molecule, site specific tracer
analysis at the molecular level, mass independent isotope effects, and
multiple compound/multiple isotope approaches to biogeochemical studies.
Papers on the progress of several analytical techniques, such as Laser
Ablation, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Continuous Flow - Isotopic Mass
Spectrometry (CF-IRMS), Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectrometers (TDLAS)
and others, permits site-specific analysis of isotopes at natural abundance
level, thus providing invaluable information for a better understanding of
biogeochemical processes occurring in nature, are encouraged.

The purpose of the Symposium is to look into the latest scientific
achievements in the measurement and analysis of isotopomers, from the
studies of environmental changes to extended applications in environmental
and life sciences including food authenticity and biomedical research. Mass
independent chemical measurements and theory are also included. The
Symposium will call for papers from a wide range of research on
isotope-containing molecules with site-specific information and/or
multi-isotopic measurements, as follows:

The papers to be presented at the Symposium will comprise invited papers,
accepted oral and poster papers. In addition to more experienced
researchers, the participation by younger generations of the isotope and/or
isotopomer community as well as newcomers to the community is especially
encouraged. The Symposium will be held August 27th through August 30th 2006
on the campus of the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla,
California, USA.  Planned activities are scheduled for August 31st as well.
