Presentations of the history of IMS as standalone or as tandem systems

Our knowledge in IMS, wheather as stand-alone or as tandems systems is built upon the accomplishments of many scientists before us. As the IMS community forges new frontiers, we pay tribute to pioneers who paved the way, and remember those who contributed to the Society and who took the time to mentor the next generation of IMSers.
