   46^th meeting of The International Association of Forensic Toxicologists
XVI^eme congrés de la Société Française de Toxicologie Analytique
Annual meeting of the Society of Hair Testing
 

Dear colleagues and friends,

 

The Society of Hair Testing (SoHT) is delighted to continue with the tradition of the annual meetings, and to invite you to the 2008 SoHT Meeting in Martinique.

This year we will have the chance to share our meeting with two other associations involved in hair analysis, as well, the International Association of Forensic Toxicologists and the French Society of Analytical Toxicology (SFTA) . I thank both of them for giving us the opportunity of participating in this relevant event.

It is very important for SoHT to join TIAFT once again, because we originated from this Association. In fact, the first meetings on hair analysis, before SoHT’s being set up, were organized by the TIAFT’s President, at that time Dr. Rokus A. de Zeeuw. In addition, the majority of our members belong to TIAFT, as
well, and actively participate in its events.

This collaboration will be very interesting for TIAFT and SFTA members, since hair analysis is performed in the majority of the toxicological labs, and this is a good chance to know SoHT and to exchange ideas, opinions or doubts with people involved in the same field.

I am sure that Martinique will be unforgettable not only from the scientific, but also from the social point of view. It is a heavenly island and the organizing committee has been and continues working very
hard for the success and for us to enjoy the place, the atmosphere and to recall this meeting as one of the best in our lives.

 

I hope and expect to see all of you in Martinique.

 

 

Carmen Jurado, SoHT President
