Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of Separations, I am pleased to announce the winner of the 2019 Separations Travel Award:

Belen Gonzalez-Gaya, a post-doctoral fellow at Plentzia Marine Station of EHU/UPV (University of the Basque Country), whose research focused on the development of analytical methodologies intended to study the presence of xenobiotics and metabolites in the milieu. She is planning to present one oral presentation «Fate of atmospheric aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the oligotrophic ocean» and three poster presentations «The evaluation and selection of techniques for non-directed analysis of xenobiotics in water using LC-HR-Q-Orbitrap/MS», «Non-targeted analysis of xenobiotics in fish muscle», and «Effect-directed analysis of contaminants of emerging concern in hospital effluents» at the SETAC Europe 2019 that will take place in May 2019 in Helsinki, Finland.
