From sweet from bnl.gov Tue Jan 6 10:31:19 2009 From: sweet from bnl.gov (Robert Sweet) Date: Tue Jan 6 13:05:17 2009 Subject: [X-plor] Reminder: Please apply to the BNL-Biology and NSLS Course on Synchrotron Data Collection Message-ID: We are offering RapiData 2009, the eleventh offering of our popular course: Rapid Data Collection and Structure Solving at the NSLS: A Practical Course in Macromolecular X-Ray Diffraction Measurement The course will be held 19-24 April 2009. Students could be at any level from advanced undergraduate to full professor. 48 students will be accepted; 24 will bring their own specimens for data collection. Please read the course description at http://www.px.nsls.bnl.gov/RapiData2009/. You'll see that many experts in the field will be available for lectures and tutorials, and you'll find the application materials at this site. For the seventh time we will hold a short lecture course on the fundamentals of crystallography for roughly five hours on Sunday 19 April. The body of the RapiData course really requires that students have a healthy knowledge of crystallography. For potential students who have some experience but are shaky about fundamentals, this course will help. There will be a small additional fee for the fundamentals course, to pay for Saturday night accomodations and food on Sunday morning and noon. Latin American Scientists: Several scholarships are available, from the International Union of Crystallography, to pay partial travel and subsistence costs for Latin-American students and junior faculty. Please apply for the course, and then contact R. Sweet (sweet@bnl.gov) if you are interested in applying for a scholarship. In accordance with the standards of the International Union of Crystallography, we observe the basic policy of non-discrimination, affirming the right and freedom of scientists to associate in international scientific activity without regard to such factors as citizenship, religion, creed, political stance, ethnic origin, race, colour, language, age, or gender, in accordance with the Statutes of the International Council for Science. At this course no barriers will exist beyond the application procedure that would prevent the participation of bona fide scientists. Please apply or send your students to our course, Alex Soares, Sal Sclafani, and Bob Sweet ========================================================================= Robert M.
