<html><body><p><font size="3" face="serif">Hello friends, apologies for this mass mailing if it is unwanted. This is just to alert you about the HYP18 conference in Southampton in September, and to encourage you, your group members and acquaintances, to subtract abstracts (at </font><a href="http://hyp18.com"><font size="3" color="#0000FF" face="serif"><u>hyp18.com</u></font></a><font size="3" face="serif">). There is about 1 month left until the submission deadline. We hope and expect that this will be a really exciting interdisciplinary meeting bringing together experts on the different frontier areas of nuclear hyperpolarization and their applications. It should be a very instructive meeting both for those already involved in hyperpolarization and for those wanting to find out about what can and cannot be done. As far as we know a meeting of this kind has not been held before. </font><br><br><font size="3" face="serif">There will be some student travel stipends available, through the generosity of sponsors. Details on the website. </font><br><br><font size="3" face="serif">best wishes</font><br><font size="3" face="serif">malcolm</font><br><br><font size="3" face="serif">———————</font><br><br><font size="3" face="serif">The HYP18 conference on hyperpolarization in Southampton is now open for registration and abstract submission at </font><a href="http://hyp18.com"><font size="3" color="#0000FF" face="serif"><u>hyp18.com</u></font></a><font size="3" face="serif">.</font><br><br><font size="3" face="serif">This conference will cover the main areas of nuclear hyperpolarization and some other methods for sensitivity enhancement in NMR and MRI, including:</font><br>
