The Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS) is an organization designed to further the interests of analytical chemistry and spectroscopy on behalf of its member organizations. On behalf of the Governing Board and the Executive Committee of FACSS and this year’s organizing committee and the ten member organizations of FACSS, it is my pleasure to welcome you to Kansas City for our 39th annual meeting, SciX 2012, and the National meeting of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy.

The foundation of SciX is the technical program which this year, boasts an impressive list of invited speakers as well as hundreds of contributed talks and posters (from academic, industrial, and government laboratories). The conference will open with a plenary lecture from Chris McKay, of NASA, who will present some of the latest scientific information from the analytical instrumentation on-board NASA’s Curiosity mission to MARS. FACSS is proud that the SciX conference is the site of a large number of awards symposia for its member societies, and equally proud that a large proportion of the program comes in the form of contributed papers and posters.
