[X-plor] PDB40 - Celebrating the 40th birthday of the PDB

[Gerard DVD Kleywegt]

The Worldwide Protein Data Bank (wwPDB; wwpdb.org) is organising a scientific 
symposium in Cold Spring Harbor this autumn to celebrate the 40th anniversary 
of the inception of the PDB and the many scientific contributions it archives.

The meeting ("PDB40") will kick off with an evening reception and plenary 
session on Friday 28 October and conclude after lunch the following Sunday. 
For details and registration, please see the meeting website at:

                  http://meetings.cshl.edu/meetings/pdb40.shtml

The program will showcase the scientific impact made by structural biology 
during the past 40 years with a distinguished panel of scientists who have 
been instrumental in the development of the PDB and structural biology. A list 
of all confirmed speakers and the titles of their presentations is now on the 
website.

There are limited funds available to help a number of students and 
early-career scientists to attend PDB40. To apply for an award, please follow 
the instructions on the website. Applications are due by August 1, 2011.

We hope to see many of you at the symposium!

On behalf of wwPDB,

--Gerard
