Shane attended the 2016 American Society for Mass Spectrometry conference in San Antonio, Texas, earlier this summer. The biggest mass spectrometry conference of the year, it is an excellent means to learn about the wide variety of applications that are enabled by the technique, as well as the instrumental developments that are being pursued. He presented a poster on his work on gas-phase HDX as a means of probing gas-phase conformations. This provided a great opportunity to discuss his work with the wider international community.
