In a rapidly evolving academic landscape, traditional scholarly publishing is facing new challenges and opportunities. Emerging trends, such as the use of AI to assist in paper writing and alternative forms of research dissemination, are reshaping how scientific work is shared. This symposium will focus on how scientists, publishers, and librarians can collaborate to move beyond the idea that journal articles are the only valid outputs of scientific research. We will explore new ways to present and disseminate research that support the professional growth of early career researchers and broaden the reach and impact of scholarship. By rethinking the roles of these stakeholders, we aim to highlight how academic institutions can support more diverse and effective ways of communicating research, and how these efforts can benefit both academia and society.

Where knowing is half the battle, asking is the first step. In this seminar, we will investigate sources of food contamination, how it got there, and strategies to reduce exposure for ourselves and our loved ones. In any case of contamination, testing to find out what is present, and how much, helps determine if our food is safe to eat. Monitoring these levels as food and packaging is produced helps find issues in the supply chain, whether it is contamination in the field or through processing. This seminar will look at heavy metal testing by ICPMS and speciation of those heavy meals by LC-ICPMS to better understand risks. Contaminants from agricultural use or production like pesticides and cross-contamination allergens can pose significant risks to consumers. We will also look at PFAS leaching from packaging, not just those we hear about in fast food wrappers but also from snack packages, and other materials. Adequate testing and labeling allow people to make decisions that best suit their lifestyle. In food safety, we raise the questions since knowing is half the battle.

Glycosylation, an essential post-translational modification, has a profound impact on glycoprotein function and stability. Mass spectrometry (MS), with its high selectivity, has emerged as a pivotal methodology in glycosylation analysis across both research and pharmaceutical domains. Recent advancements in this field encompass several key areas. Firstly, the elucidation of fucose migration during fragmentation, which adds significant complexity to glycan structure interpretation, has been a major breakthrough. Secondly, the characterization of enzymatically produced glycans through MS techniques has provided deeper insights into glycan structures and their functions. Thirdly, the exploration of glycoprotein properties and functions via quantitative proteomics has opened new avenues for understanding protein interactions and modifications. Finally, the precise quantification of targeted glycosylation within regulatory frameworks during biopharmaceutical development ensures compliance and enhances the reliability of therapeutic products. This symposium aims to delve into these innovations, offering comprehensive insights into improved glycoprotein characterization and advancing therapeutic development. By fostering discussions on these recent advancements, we aim to bridge gaps in knowledge and pave the way for future research and applications in glycoprotein science.
