[ccp4bb] NSLS II User Meeting - New Science Enabled by UTH Crystallography

[Stojanoff, Vivian]

Dear All

We would like to call your attention to the NSLS II workshop "New Science 
Enabled by Ultra-high Throughput 
Crystallography" on 
April 28.  This is an opportunity for the community to discuss next-generation 
science and to define the requirements for next-generation instrumentation 
needed for this science.  External speakers will discuss topics such as the 
SARS CoV 2 Macrodomain (Fraser group), protein dynamics and fragment screening 
(Page group), and metabolite and effector binding for biofuel development (Jez 
group).  NSLS 2 staff will describe potential instrumentation that could enable 
your science.  Make your voice heard today, to assure you have the resources 
you need tomorrow!  Registration  
for this virtual cost-free meeting is open now.  We hope to see you in two 
weeks!

[ccp4bb] Deadline registration for 14th Biology and Synchrotron Radiation Conference (BSR14.com) June 11 to 14 2023 in Lund, Sweden is nearing

[Marjolein Thunnissen]

We would like to remind all interested that the deadline for BSR14 its nearing. 
The meeting is being planned as a physical, on-site meeting, but with a virtual 
component to aid those who are not able to travel.
The International Biology and Synchrotron Radiation meetings are held every 
three years to present and discuss state-of-the-art applications in relevant 
research fields. They have a long-standing record since the first meeting in 
Frascati, Italy in 1986. Subsequent meetings were held at sites at or near the 
most advanced light source facilities around the world, with the last BSR 
meeting taking place in Shanghai, China in 2019. BSR is a unique forum to 
discuss the novel possibilities of synchrotrons and X-ray lasers and to promote 
their applications to challenging biological problems

The venue is in the city center of Lund (southern Sweden), only a 25 min train 
ride from Copenhagen Airport.

The conference will start with registration and a welcome reception on Sunday, 
June 11 2023. A three-day scientific program will follow, finishing in the 
afternoon of Wednesday, June 14, 2023. A limited number of subsidized student 
admissions is available.

For further information as well as a list of Keynote and Invited speakers, see 
www.BSR14.com.

We are very much looking forward to welcoming you in Lund in the Summer of 
2023. With kind regards
