A tribute to Prof. Horvath who pioneered HPLC in the '60's

Csaba Horváth Symposium 2000: A Symposium Recognizing the Contributions to Separation Science and Engineering of Professor Csaba Horváth will be held January 23-25 at Yale. The talks will be given Mon., Jan. 24, and Tues., Jan. 25 in the Hall of Graduate Studies, Room 211 (see program, below). The speakers are Prof. Horváthís former students and postdocs presently at various companies and universities in the U.S. and Italy, France, Germany, and Switzerland. Prof. Horváth will also be honored at dinners on Sunday night, Monday night, and Tuesday night.

And have you heard about the "Csabaites"? This is how Prof. Horváth fans refer to themselves. They keep in touch on the web, where they "meet" for discussions on separation-related topics: www.egroups.com/group/csabaites/info.html
