Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in many fields such as chemistry, biology, medicine, materials, food, environment, and public safety. The proportion of female scientists in the field of mass spectrometry is also increasing, and they are playing an ever increasingly important role in their respective positions. 

Therefore, www.instrument.com.cn plans to co-organize with the Females in Mass Spectrometry (FeMS) to organize “The 1st International Virtual Symposium of Female Scientists and Supporters in Mass spectrometry” on July 22, 2021 in the Beijing time, aiming to create a network for females and their supporters in the field of mass spectrometry at all career stages and paths, and share inspiring career/personal experience or valuable advice with the audience. 

Date: 

9 am July 22nd, 2021 in Beijing time

9 pm EDT/6 pm PDT July 21st,2021 in US

科学究其本质就是一种磨练，得益于那些好奇心无限、智慧超然并愿意为世界和个体生活带来真正改变的人们。正因如此，科学界一直不乏杰出的女性智者和先驱，她们为其所在领域带来了翻天覆地的改变。在质谱学领域，越来越多的女院士、女教授、女专家,还有资深女工程师……正在通过自己的思考与行动影响着该行业的发展。

当前，质谱技术在生物、医药、材料、食品、环境、公共安全等众多领域发挥着不可替代的作用。女性学者在质谱领域的占比也越来越高，并在其各自的岗位发挥着重要作用。受社会角色影响，女性学者面临工作和生活中更多的困难和挑战。

基于此，仪器信息网在Females in Mass Spectrometry(FeMS)组织的大力支持下，于2021年7月22日举办“第一届女性质谱学者国际研讨会”，旨在为质谱领域的女性学者从学业生活到个人心路历程等方面搭建沟通、交流的平台，激励质谱领域女性学者的工作热情、帮助领域内女性学者的事业发展。
