We are sure that Rebecca enjoyed her work otherwise she would not have been able to put so much passion. We will miss her, personally and professionally, very badly. Udo Weimar
"All the members of ISOCS are much indebted to Rebecca because she helped define it as a legal entity and thus its very creation. She was one of the founding directors of ISOCS and was its first treasurer. Through her efforts ISOCS was formed and its financial management systems put in place. So it is a sad loss to both ISOCS and the artifical olfaction community that she is no longer with us." Julian Gardner, President of ISOCS |

Message from the President
It is a great pleasure to bring to you the first electronic ISOCS Newsletter. The ISOCS management team feel that this is a much more cost effective way to reach out to you and also a “greener” way. I was elected as President in April 2009 and so this has been my first year as ISOCS President. It has been an enjoyable 12 months with a number of events to report. First of all we held a week long Summer School in Barcelona (Spain) in September 2009 on “Artificial Olfaction” and this was followed by a Winter School in Val Gardena (Italy) in February 2010 on the topic of “Smart Circuits, Systems and Micro-technologies for Chemical and Biological Sensing. This was followed by the first Spring School (in Rimini Italy) in May on the topic of “MOX gas sensor technology”. In addition to these Schools we have sponsored four workshops on related topics and helped promote the activities of our members. |

Ricardo has worked in the field of artificial olfaction for many years and is an expert in the area of cognitive neuroscience. He is associate professor at Texas A&M University and has published numerous journal articles on the area of artificial olfaction. Julian Gardner, president:"I am delighted that Ricardo is joining the ISOCS Steering Committee under my presidency; he will greatly enhance our expertise in the field of computational neuroscience. It also helps ISOCS to reach out from Europe and become more international in nature." |

Today Kodak has announced a breakthrough in olfactory imaging. Apparently they found a method to embed olfactory information in the digital pixels of a photo. More information can be found on the Kodak website at http://www.kodak.com/ |

Professor Moriizumi was an early pioneer in the field of artificial olfaction and electronic noses. He contributed to the first ever NATO Advanced Workshop held on the topic of electronic noses in August 1991 (NATO ASI Series E: Applied Science, Vol. 212, p217). Professor Moriizumi worked at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and has published a plethora of innovative research over the past 20 years or so. For example, he has authored many wonderful papers on the combination of electronic noses with mobile robots to enable the tracking of odour plumes or so-called source localisation. |
