Bacon Jeffrey S. Crain Adam W. McMahon John G. Williams References 395R 355R Atomic Spectroscopy Group Study Bursaries The Atomic Spectroscopy Group Analytical Division RSC invites applications from UK scientists working in the field of analytical spectrometry for study bursaries. These typically will have a value not exceeding f500 and are intended to afford applicants the opportunity for professional development. Specific activities for which the study bursary might be considered include attendance at meetings workshops and seminars or support for study visits to other laboratories. Applications should include a statement of the purpose for which the bursary is sought (1 page A4) and a summary of recent work (1 page A4). The submission should be sent to Dr S. J. Hill Chairman A.S.G. Department of Environmental Sciences University of Plymouth Drake Circus Plymouth PL4 8AA at least 2 months before funds are required.
