We thank the other members of the International Reid Bioanalytical Forum organizing committee (Jon Bardsley, Rebecca Mogey, Ludovicus Staelens, Elizabeth Want and Amanda Wilson), whose wonderful ideas and boundless energy ensured that we hosted such a fantastic event, particularly as it came hot on the heels of our 2022 forum. Thanks to our past committee members, supporters, sponsors, speakers and our hosts at the Cambridge Belfry, who make this phenomenal event possible. Also, we thank ChromSoc for their support of the International Reid Bioanalytical Forum and the 15 bursaries awarded to early career scientist.
