Introduction to ACROSS

Separation science involves the study of

fundamental materials and processes for the

separation, isolation and quantitation of individual

chemical species, or classes of chemical and

biochemical compounds, from within complex

mixtures and/or complex matrices. As such it finds

application in almost all of the chemical and

biological (life) sciences, and in many areas of

chemical engineering and indeed industrial

manufacturing. Fundamental advances in

separation science have provided the impetus for

groundbreaking new developments in the life

sciences (e.g. genomics, proteomics and medicine),

pharmaceutical sciences (e.g. drug discovery and

characterisation), environmental sciences (e.g.

ultra-trace residue analysis), forensic science (e.g.

illicit drugs, DNA fingerprinting, and explosives

residues), together with a myriad of other scientific

disciplines of pronounced societal significance. The

continued discovery of new modes of separation

science involving analysis, characterisation and

purification will be essential to help solve the future

challenges in each of the above fields.

Separation science also spans the spectrum

between nanoscale technology and exploration,

and macroscale materials and their application,

with common elements of theory and

implementation. Further and greater advances in

separation science will be an important driver

behind a very broad spectrum of Australian science

for the foreseeable future, ranging from new

developments in nanotechnology, to novel

biomaterials, to improved manufacturing

processes. Therefore its importance as an enabling

science cannot be overstated.

The Australian Centre for Research on Separation

Science (ACROSS) was established in 2001 as a

strategic agreement between key researchers at the

University of Tasmania, Monash University and

RMIT University (with Western Sydney University

joining ACROSS in 2008) to form a consortium of

prominent Australian researchers in separation

science. This consortium was supported financially

by the participating institutions to pursue the

following aims:

(i) Maintain an outstanding level of

international renown in research on

separation science.

(ii) Coalesce and enhance Australian research

on separation science into an organised

structure, operating with a coordinated

research plan, which addresses and exploits

the most exciting and innovative themes in

modern separation science.

(iii) Provide enabling research and research

training of the highest quality, which

supports and advances all major areas of

Australian science.

Australian research in separation science has long

enjoyed an excellent international reputation,

earned by the individual activities of talented

researchers. ACROSS offers an organisational and

resource base, through which these individual

researchers can work in a coordinated and

synergistic manner, under a series of structured and

interlocking research programs. ACROSS operates

under an agreed Research Charter and

organisational structure, established to avoid

duplication of effort, allow resources and expertise

to be shared, and provide value-added

opportunities broadly to industry, academia and

the nation.

ACROSS Research Structure Research in ACROSS has been established based upon focused research themes to provide both

fundamental and applied research outcomes in separation science. ACROSS draws together multi-

institutional, internationally prominent and genuinely collaborative research teams, having

complementary skills and synergistic expertise, supported by a state of-the-art resource base, and

committed to focused research programs of national significance. The research structure listed below

groups research themes using the three major phases of a separation and also shows the major

outcome areas in which these themes are being applied.

Director’s Report

It’s my great pleasure to present to you the ACROSS annual report for 2016. As always it’s been a very exciting, productive and challenging year for our centre. As detailed within this report, the year has seen ACROSS establish several new research programs, continued to diversify in its sources of grant income and increase post-graduate numbers, whilst publishing a record number of ACROSS affiliated research papers. A particular highlight of the year was the ACROSS Symposium on Advances in Separation Science (ASASS 2016), held in Hobart, with ~140 national and international delegates, including the full ACROSS national membership and many of our national and international collaborators. The symposium was a great success, with the positive feedback of the delegates reflecting the dynamic and energising event that was ASASS 2016. A full report on this successful meeting can be found on page 7. Other significant developments in 2016 included the establishment of a joint ACROSS and ASTech Centre Manager position (UTas), providing essential managerial and senior administrative support to these centres, and a significant laboratory refurbishment being completed here at UTas, providing state-of-the-

art research space for our growing membership. The year was also rich in personal awards and international recognition, with notable inclusions being an editorship of Journal of Chromatography A being awarded to Prof. Michael Breadmore, Prof. Emily Hilder being awarded the Jubilee Medal by the chromatographic Society, and amongst the numerous student awards, Vipul Gupta receiving the first prize for best poster at HPLC 2016 and subsequent UTas Science, Engineering and Technology Dean’s Award for Exceptional Performance by an HDR Candidate, and Jessica Pandohee (RMIT) receiving the International Student of the Year (Research) award at the Victorian Government International Education Awards. Congratulations to those, and all ACROSS members whose hard work in 2016 is recorded and recognised within this report.

Higher Degree Students and Post-graduate Training Within each of its University nodes, ACROSS prides itself on providing and maintaining a unique training and research environment for all its members. Together with ACROSS annual symposia, its invited seminar programs, and weekly group meetings, ACROSS provides researchers with well-maintained and modern research infrastructure, with shared resources made available to all, supported by dedicated administrative and technical staff. In 2016 ACROSS reached a new record high in the number of higher degree students, numbering close to 70 over all of the national centre nodes, a significant proportion of which (~35%) are either fully or partially funded via competitive grant income and/or industry. In 2016, ACROSS welcomed 11 new MSc/PhD student enrolments, spanning topics of environmental science and monitoring, natural product profiling, new materials and media, microfluidics and diagnostics, and portable instrumentation and analytical platforms. Welcome and good luck to each of our new members.

Professor Brett Paull, Director of ACROSS

It is also a pleasure once again to be able to report upon our international diversity. Within the ACROSS postgraduate community there are no fewer than 21 separate nationalities represented, adding to the dynamic and culturally enriched environment that is ACROSS. Amongst the researcher group, ACROSS’s gender balance remained relatively constant, with ~40% female HDR students.

Research Outputs Integral to the ACROSS approach to post-graduate training and development, is the promotion of student mobility, travel and research dissemination. As is the norm, both ACROSS staff and students were well represented at all of the major international separation science symposia and conferences in 2016. In total in 2016, ACROSS researchers presented close to 30 plenary, keynote and invited oral papers at leading national and international symposia, and a further 160+ contributed oral and poster presentations, of which over 50% were from the postgraduate researchers (for full list see pages 53 to 69). On top of this, ACROSS members presented 18 invited University seminars, and several researchers took part in, and/or helped deliver technical workshops.

The outstanding quality of the student contributions was recognised through numerous student travel and presentation awards (listed on page 68), including conference presentation prizes for Adam Sutton, Vipul Gupta, Ibraam Mikhail, Monica Alves, Chacriya Malasuk, Mohammad Sharif Khan, Joel Thevarajah, and Alison Maniego.

Mirroring the above successes, 2016 saw ACROSS affiliated research publications mark a new high, with a incredible 121 peer reviewed journal articles published, a >20% increase on the previous high. Following the current trajectory, ACROSS will publish its 1,000th research paper in 2017, a truly significant achievement for a centre such as ours. And in terms of quality, 2016 not only saw ACROSS researchers exceed 50 ACS Analytical Chemistry publications, the number 1 ranked general analytical science journal, but also surpass 200

publications within the Journal of Chromatography A, the number 1 ranked separation science journal. Both great milestones to mark the year.

In terms of citations, ACROSS affiliated publications raised over 1,725 citations in 2016, once again a new record high, and testament to the international impact the ACROSS catalogue of research continues to have upon the field of separation science (citation number based upon 802 publications – Scopus). For this same ACROSS affiliated publications, over the full-life of the centre (2001-2016), the total citation count exceeded 13,000 in 2016.

ACROSS maintained its significant visibility within the general scientific media, social media and associated online forums. The ACROSS Facebook page is updated with news items as they occur and has over 600 followers. News stories and interviews related to ACROSS activities in 2016 can be found listed on page 44.

In terms of research dissemination, 2016 was an outstanding year. Congratulations to all!

Funding and Fellowships Funding in 2016 for ACROSS research programs reflected the depth and breadth of research within the centre, and substantial support across both fundamental and applied research projects. Funding for 2016 alone from the highly competitive Australian Research Council (ARC) grants exceeded $3m for ACROSS affiliated projects, with a further $500k in direct cash funding from industry partners.

Financial support of all our research is acknowledged here for each funding agency, council and supporting industry partner. However, I would particularly like to acknowledge the incredible support of the four university nodes of ACROSS, which in particular continue to support the ACROSS HDR membership through their competitive scholarship programs, which in 2016 totalled well in excess of ~$1.5M of maintenance and tuition fee scholarships.

Farewells and Welcomes As is the way of things, 2016 saw some significant departures from and arrivals to our ACROSS family. Listed on page 19 you can find the details of ACROSS visitors in 2016, originating from no fewer than 11 separate countries, and reflecting our international reputation as a place for open collaboration. A big thank you to all for enriching our centre with your thoughts and contributions in 2016.

In 2016 we said congratulations, and in many cases farewell, to a significant number of MSc and PhD graduates. Graduating from ACROSS in 2016 were Maria Gabriela Paniagua (UTas, MSc), Tomas Lawson (UTas, MSc), Alain Wuethrich (UTas, PhD), Aminreza Khodabandeh (UTas, PhD), Mari Egeness (UTas, PhD), Matthew Jacobs (UTas, PhD), Ala Alhusban (UTas, PhD), Sui Ching Phung (UTas, PhD), Yada Nolvachai (Monash, PhD), Roshanak Sepehrifar (Monash, PhD), Hussain Bhukya (Monash, PhD), Siti Mokhtar (Monash, PhD), Jessica Pandohee (RMIT University, PhD) and Nashi Alqahtani (RMIT University, PhD). The best of luck to all with their on-going careers.

2017 and Beyond It is very clear to all of us working within ACROSS that the centre holds a unique identity within the field of separation science, and that 2016 saw it continue to build upon its excellent national and international reputation. Towards the end of the year we have seen significant announcements made on industry supporting funding and collaboration, which rewards our combined efforts to diversify our funding base and research activities. I am confident that 2017 will see further such successes, and that ACROSS will continue to maintain its position as one of the world’s premier analytical chemistry centres.

My personal regards and thanks to all our membership (family!).

Report from the Second ACROSS International Symposium on Advances in Separation Science (ASASS 2016), Hobart, Nov 30th–Dec 2nd 2016

After a hiatus of eight years since the first

ACROSS Symposium on Advances in Separation

Science (ASASS 2008) was held in Hobart in

2008 to mark the 60th birthday of Prof. Paul

Haddad, the second ACROSS International

Symposium on Advances in Separation Science

(ASASS 2016) opened its doors to an

international delegation of separation scientists,

both young and old, for three days of great

science and social interaction. With close to 140

delegates, spanning local Australian based PhD

students to internationally renowned experts,

together originating from over 25 different

countries, the meeting was an exciting mix of

youth and experience, making for a hugely

educational, productive and entertaining

experience for all. The symposium was held

within the Hobart Function and Conference

Centre (HFCC), set upon the waterfront just a

short walk from Hobart’s historic Salamanca

Place, with the symposium dinner held within

the surrounds of the beautiful and unique

Hobart botanic gardens. The first night of the

symposium also involved a ‘Great Aussie BBQ’

held at the Hobart Waterworks Reserve, where

delegates were exposed to the uniquely Aussie

experience of sausage stealing kookaburras!

ASASS is a symposium organised and

administered by the Australian Centre for

Research in Separation Sciences (ACROSS),

which is a research centre based upon a

consortium of leading experts in separation

science based across four Australian

Universities, namely the University of Tasmania,

Monash University, Western Sydney university

and RMIT University. The symposium is run to

expose the Australian based young and early

career researchers to renowned separation

scientists from both within Australia and across

the globe. With this goal in mind, the ASASS

Organising Committee delivered an oral

program with a large number of well-known

national and international plenary, keynote and

invited speakers, together with a significant

number of presentations awarded to young

Australian based researchers. In total, the

three-day scientific program packed in no

fewer than 52 oral presentations and a similar

number of posters.

The symposium kicked off with an excellent

plenary presentation involving the application of

separation methods, specifically ion

chromatography, in the field of Antarctic

Science. Dr Mark Curran of the Australian

Antarctic Division and Antarctic Climate and

Ecosystems presented a highly enjoyable and

informative lecture on the tools at hand for

discovering ‘Climate signals frozen in Antarctica

through chemical measurements on ice cores’.

The three day program was then broken down

into thematic sessions on all aspects of

separation science, including Advances in Liquid

Chromatography; Detection, Data, Modelling

and Optimisation; Electrophoretic Methods;

Extraction, Isolation and Mass Spectrometry;

Green Chemistry and Environmental

Applications; Multidimensional Chromatography

and Coupled Techniques; Emerging Leaders and

Young Separation Scientists; Advances and

Applications of Gas Chromatography;

8

Industrial/Pharmaceutical Applications and

Natural Products; and Instruments, Interfaces

and New Platforms. Each session began with an

invited keynote presentation from a leading

researcher in the area, these included Prof.

Andrew Shalliker form the Western Sydney

University (‘Realising high-speed separations

and analysis’); Prof. Purnendu Dasgupta from

the University of Texas at Arlington (‘The axioms

in chromatography shaken by fast data

acquisition’); Prof. Michael Breadmore from the

University of Tasmania (‘Design and application

of sequential injection—capillary

electrophoresis systems’); Prof. Wolfgang

Buchberger from the Johannes-Kepler University

(‘Novel mass spectrometric techniques for low-

and high-performance chromatography’); Prof.

Phillip Doble from the Univ ersity of Technology,

Sydney (‘Microfluidic HPLC-Chip hyphenation to

ICP-MS’); Prof. Peter Schoenmakers from the

University of Amsterdam (‘Multi-dimensional

liquid chromatography—towards a million

peaks’); Dr. Arianne Solivan from Novartis

(‘Maximising the peak capacity for complex

reversed phase small molecule separations’);

Prof. Phillip Marriott from Monash University (‘A

new paradigm in development of

comprehensive two-dimensional gas

chromatography separations based on a novel

dual column primary dimension’); and Prof. Jin-

Ming Lin from Tsinghua University (‘Generation

of picolitre droplets of liquid for capillary

electrophoresis and electrospray ionization’).

The success of the symposium was of course

heavily dependent upon the generous

sponsorship of supporting organisations. These

included, The Ian Potter Foundation; Trajan

Medical and Scientific; Shimadzu Corporation;

Waters Corporation; Agilent Technologies;

Phenomenex; Kinesis Australia; and supporting

publications, namely Chromatographia

(Springer), Analyst, and Analytical Methods

(RSC). Poster prizes were sponsored by

ASASS 2016 delegates assembled ‘afore the yardarm’ at Hobart’s historic Sullivan’s Cove

9

Chromatographia, with the award of $400

worth of book vouchers to the prize winners.

The student three poster prizes were awarded

to Chacriya Malasuk and co-workers (Mahidol

University, Thailand), for their presentation

entitled ‘Determination of phenylalanine and

tyrosine using micellor liquid chromatography’

($100 Third Prize), Ibraam Mikhail and co-

workers (University of Tasmania, Australia) for

their presentation entitled ‘Lab in a syringe’

($100 Second Prize), and Vipul Gupta and co-

workers (University of Tasmania, Australia) for

their presentation entitled ‘3D printed flow cells

for chemiluminescence detection’ ($200 First

prize). Thanks to the poster judges for their

collective efforts, who included Prof Purnendu

Dasgupta, Prof. Jin- Ming Lin and Prof. Boguslav

Buszewski. The meeting closed with an invite

from Prof. Phillip Marriott, who will chair the

next ASASS meeting (ASASS 3), which will be

held in Melbourne in 2018. Given the great

success of ASASS 2, I have no doubt we are

seeing the establishment of what will be a long

lasting and successful Australian based

symposium series

ASTech is the ARC Training Centre for Portable Analytical Separation Technologies. ASTech explores science and technologies that can lead to portable analytical separation systems that will enable point-of-sample analysis for complex samples in food, environmental, and clinical applications - ultimately bringing 'the lab' to the sample. ASTech researchers have access to university facilities, as well as the opportunity to undertake industry placements with founding partner Trajan Scientific and Medical (Trajan), or Trajan’s commercial partners.

2016 Highlight New director and university node In 2016 Prof Brett Paull, University of Tasmania (UTAS) (Director of ACROSS), was appointed ASTech Training Centre Director, taking over from founding Centre Director, Prof Emily Hilder. Prof Hilder is now Director of the Future Industries Institute (FII) at the University of South Australia (UniSA) and continues with ASTech as Deputy Director. Four ASTech Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students transitioned to UniSA with Prof Hilder, establishing essential critical mass in ASTech’s second University node. In September 2016 Ms Carol Jacobs, University of Tasmania (UTAS) was appointed to the newly created role of joint Research Centre Manager for ACROSS, ASTech and the Centre of Excellence.

“We have a highly educated and motivated team of investigators, thriving in the unique industry-academic research environment that is ASTech. I’m very confident that going forward ASTech will be viewed as a shining example of how research with real societal impact can be delivered more efficiently through such partnerships.” said Prof Paull.

Trajan’s commercialization program for hemaPEN® Trajan Chief Scientific Officer Dr Andrew Gooley commented that the highlight for Trajan in 2016 was the transition of the microsampling blood device invention,

the hemaPEN, from R&D to the prototype stage. This stage involved a significant increase in Trajan’s contribution to ASTech with the decision to accelerate the hemaPEN technology towards commercialization – a great outcome for the collaboration.

The proposed concept of the hemaPEN platform technology was developed in 2015 by ASTech, and is expected to provide easy, and more convenient sampling process for dried blood spot (DBS) collection. It exemplifies the advantages of DBS micro-sample stability, while addressing the associated limitations of volumetric accuracy, hematocrit effect and sample integrity.

Work program highlights hemaPEN international patent application filed

under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) in August 2016.

Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE) syringe prototyped, with a final design adapted to a Cavro pump to demonstrate digital control over the LLE process.

The Federal Government funded ACES through the Australian Research Council in 2014 to turn our knowledge of materials into the next generation of ‘smart devices’ for the benefit of the community. We think of a smart device as one that uses the advanced materials we make in our laboratories to create new health and energy solutions that improve people’s lives.

Led by the University of Wollongong, ACES incorporates six Australian collaborators and five international partner organisations known for their expertise in materials and device fabrication. The Centre brings together a critical mass of the best minds across all disciplines to develop innovative solutions based on advanced next-generation electromaterials.

2016 Highlights Within ACES, the Electrofluidics and Diagnostics (EF&D) Theme, led by Professor Brett Paull at ACROSS, University of Tasmania, leverages advances in multi-material 3D fabrication technologies to control fluids within macroporous, nanofunctional and biomimetic structures. The discoveries of this program feed into other Centre Themes, such as the Synthetic Energy and Synthetic Biosystems, with impact on technologies such as flow batteries, electro-fluidic cooling systems for electronics, electro-fluidic based optics and soft robotics. Ultimately, this program will develop next generation integrated diagnostic platforms for applications in biomedical, industrial and environmental monitoring.

Significant outputs in 2016 include publication of a study on “ Fibre-based electrofluidics on low cost versatile 3D printed platforms for solute delivery, separations and

diagnostics; From small molecules to intact cells”, by ACES Research Fellow Joan-Marc Cabot and colleagues, in the Analyst (vol. 141, pg 6422-6431), which documents the surprising capabilities being explored within this new fibre-based electrofluidics project. In a collaborative project with ACES researchers from the University of Wollongong, EF&D researchers also published a paper reporting on a highly innovative new approach to the characterisation of graphene fibres and graphene coated fibres using a capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector (Analyst, vol. 141, pg 2774-2782). 2016 also saw the start of an exciting new collaborative project between the EF&D group and ACES researchers from Swinburne University and St Vincent’s Hospital, Melbourne, on the development of novel microfluidic platforms for the study and stimulation of neural cells, or “Brain-on-a-Chip” project for short!

Researcher Profiles

Feng Li PhD Candidate ACROSS, University of Tasmania

Feng Li (MSc, Medicinal chemistry, Chongqing University, China) commenced his PhD candidature in September 2014, in the School of Physical Sciences, University of Tasmania, with Prof. Michael Breadmore, Prof. Rossane Guijt (currently in Deakin University), and Dr. Niall Macdonald. The aim of his PhD project is to develop integrated lab-on-chip systems for point-of-care analysis of biological and environmental samples.

Various fabrication methods for integrated microfluidic manufacturing are involved in Feng’s project. Feng has developed a PDMS microfluidic device with integrated nanoporous membranes for quantification of albumin in human urine without external sample pre-treatment, showing great potential in point-of-care diagnostics. More recently, Feng started working on multimaterial 3D printing for integrated microfluidic devices fabrication and application in environmental and biological analysis. He has fabricated a microchip with integrated membrane and embedded liquid reagents by multimaterial 3D printing, and this device was able to directly perform nitrate test in soil on field. Currently, he is focusing on enhancing the performance of multimaterial 3D printing in microfluidics by increasing the functionalities of the device, for example, he is able to print a microfluidic device with integrated different size membranes and electrode, which is expected to be used in point-of-care analysis drugs in body fluids. He has so far published 7 research papers and chapters.

His PhD research develops a new operational mode of GCGC, combining a pressure tuned (PT) two-column arrangement as an ensemble to replace either the 1D or 2D column; in combination with a suitable third column (2D or 1D respectively) this generates a classical GC×GC result. Pressure tuning either the ‘1D1+1D2’ or ‘2D1+2D2’ ensembles using a junction point pressure allows tuning of components in the entire GC×GC separation space. He is examining fundamental relationships of junction point settings for selectivity improvement, and has extended this knowledge to GC×GC.

Implementation of PT in the GCGC platform must consider method variables of column dimensions, column phase choices, and P and T program options. This will introduce a superior mode of achieving or improving solute separation in 2D space, based on orthogonality considerations.

Since 2013, he has 14 publications to his credit. In 2016, a J. Chromatogr. A. paper reported PT in terms of stationary phase descriptors. The

first report of PT for a 1D ensemble in GCGC

then followed in Anal. Chem. and validated the

application and potential of GCGC separations through PT. His poster, presented at 13th GC×GC Symposium (Riva, Italy) was awarded a prestigious Richard D. Sacks Award.

My 40 years in chemistry and science: A reflection by Professor Mirek Macka on the occasion of his 60th birthday

Birthdays with a zero at the end make you realise that time really is a mercilessly forward ticking scalar, as my favourite science school teacher used to point out. Once over the hurdle, people sometimes ask, “How was it?” This is the case here as I am invited to reflect on my years in chemistry and science.

When I look back at the last four decades in chemistry and science, including my university studies, I have to say that in many ways, I have been very fortunate. First of all, I had a number of teachers and professors who awoke the hunger for knowledge in me and stimulated my curiosity. I am grateful to the

many colleagues who gave me support, inspiration, good company, and enriched my professional and personal life in ways for which I cannot adequately express my appreciation.

The initial decade of my professional career was as an analytical research scientist in industrial pharmaceutical research in the Czech Republic and Switzerland. This was followed by a switch to academia after I moved to Australia in 1994. This experience on both major sides of the research divide made it possible for me to make comparisons relatively few in my current position have an opportunity to do. The past decades have given me the opportunity to make observations on a time scale that younger colleagues can only perhaps understand in decades to come. So what has changed? Can real change be separated from apparent change, due to the observer’s shift in judgement with time? For this reason, if the reader disagrees with what I say here, it can be simply discarded... Now that we have safety procedures in place, let’s look at some views:

First of all, as far as I am concerned, as an older person, I have to mention how lucky my younger colleagues are, and how enabled their experimental work is nowadays, thanks to many

technical advances. Computers and the digital era have perhaps exerted the most profound influence on the achievements and practice of any discipline, including analytical chemistry. A telling example is the effort I made regarding the images for my first paper in ACS Analytical Chemistry in 1998 on changes of electrolyte pH due to electrolysis in CE – involving colour photographs of beautiful colour changes of pH indicators in a cuvette. These had to be taken by a professional UTAS photographer over a couple of days, on an analogue film, with positive photographs scanned using a flatbed scanner, and ca 20MB bitmap images (then regarded as huge) processed on a computer. By today’s standards, this was intolerably slow and a patience testing process that took me several days of focused work for only four images! Nowadays, it is not often appreciated how incomparably easy and quick it is, taking good quality colour images, as well as videos using relatively low-cost and small cameras.

During my career ‘Fashion trends’ in science have always fascinated me considerably. Among research areas in general, and specifically in my area of analytical chemistry, various analytical techniques have emerged, some of which rise exponentially and shine for a

decade or so, and then gradually diminish to a fraction of their respective peak values (judged for example by publication numbers or commercialisation). Are there good examples? I like looking at supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) from the late 1980s, and capillary electrochromatography (CEC) throughout the 1990s. Is there a magical recipe to foresee such developments? I am afraid I do not have one, but a simple rule may be that not every new trend will make the distance!

On moving in circles – or on a Hegelian spiral (one could expect in an upward direction): This is a fascinating phenomenon, that is the reoccurrence of research areas at new levels. Paper-based analytical methods can serve as a good example – with the rise of paper-fluidics throughout the last decade, young researchers could be well advised not to ignore more than half-a-century of old literature. These old sources are from the peak periods of previous ‘reincarnations’ of paper-based analytical methods, namely paper electrophoresis, paper and thin layer chromatography followed by lateral fluidics. Watch for more of this happening, again and again!

On the ever-rising competitiveness in research: It seems that conducting research has become considerably more competitive over the last few decades, both in obtaining funding, and in publishing results in leading journals, as judged on numerical factors. This is probably largely positive, as a rise

in the quality of academic research should give greater reward to society. So, has research just become harder over time as could be expected...? …whilst all else in our workplace remains good? There are very good reasons to doubt this, as rising competitiveness inevitably brings with it associated challenges, including work-life balance, stress, health, and workplace collegiality etc. Are my younger colleagues aware of these issues and prepared to accept them?

On academic ‘Ivory towers’ and intelligence: In a broader sense, do we see the character of academia shifting from ‘noble places of thinking, learning and creativity’, to primarily numerical performance driven enterprises in knowledge creation and education? It is not all bad in the latter model, if the priority is on technical skill sets as certified in degree certificates. However, a question remains: Where should the ‘noble places’ be, if not in academia? And is there any longer a perceived need or want for them in the society? Is there a desire for ‘noble places’ in the public domain? On intelligence: Is technical intelligence all what matters? In my opinion the challenge currently lies in the degree of focus on ‘technical’ (numerically documented) performance, neglecting social intelligence. This cannot be all that matters for the institution, but perhaps even more importantly is this a model we wish to set for the next generation. Is this relentless drive for ‘more’, with the focus on

technical indicators, to continue endlessly? Mathematically argued, it possibly could, but humans are not mathematical models or machines – yet.

Some of the critically sounding thoughts should not mean all is bad – not at all. But, as the enablers accelerate, the future brings chances as well as threats. The chances are rising exponentially and are breathtaking – can we use them well enough to successfully face the equally rising challenges? This is a ruthlessly practical IQ test for mankind collectively, and not only for technical intelligence. How do we bring up the next generations and in addition to degrees they study for give them some good chances of passing these tests?

Mirek Macka is proud of having

successfully joined an initial decade as a research scientist in pharma industry with subsequent fruitful academic career. He is currently Australian Research Council Future Fellow Level 3 and Professor at the School of Physical Sciences and Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science at the University of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia. Professor Macka’s research in fundamental and practical aspects of analytical science includes primarily miniaturisation of analytical instrumentation, portable analysis, electromigration and chromatographic separation methods in liquid phase, detection methods, and utilisation of solid state light sources in chemistry, and he published extensively in those areas. He has appointments to advisory editorial boards of national and international scientific journals, and to the board of Associate Directors of the Californian Separation Science Society (CASSS). He is a Fellow of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI).

ACROSS Relay Twenty-four runners from ACROSS University of Tasmania covered 200km in December 2016 in a fundraising relay to support seriously ill children and their families.

Academics and PhD students from the Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science (ACROSS) raised up to $3500 for the Tasmanian Make-A-Wish Foundation and the paediatric ward of the Royal Hobart Hospital with their event ACROSS Tasmania. The runners, most of whom were new to the pursuit ran in pairs, notching up the 200km target.

The runners set off from Hobart's MONA at 5am on Wednesday, December 14, and ran 100km to the Tahune Airwalk, Geeveston, and another 100km to Cygnet on Thursday 15 December 2016.

The event received pledges from local and international supporters.
