Outside Meetings
The meetings below are not assoiciated with the ACA, but are listed as items of interest for the benefit of our members and the promotion of open dialogue in the scientific community.
24th Annual Symposium of The Protein Society - August 1-5, 2010
Looking at Proteins: Expanding Perspectives and New Technologies
Manchester Grand Hyatt
San Diego, California
www.proteinsociety.org
The 12th National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering - June 12 - 26, 2010
Argonne National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
The application deadline is March 8, 2010.
The main purpose of the National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering is to educate graduate students on the utilization of major neutron and x-ray facilities. Lectures, presented by researchers from academia, industry, and national laboratories, will include basic tutorials on the principles of scattering theory and the characteristics of the sources, as well as seminars on the application of scattering methods to a variety of scientific subjects. Students will conduct short experiments at Argonne's Advanced Photon Source (APS) and Oak Ridge's Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) and High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) facilities to provide hands-on experience for using neutron and synchrotron sources.
Additional details about the School, along with electronic registration, are provided through the Argonne Division of Educational Programs website at www.dep.anl.gov/nx.
