I wanted to draw everyone's attention to the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
2011 X-ray Methods in Structural Biology course which will take place
October 17 through November 1, 2011.
The official course announcement is here:
http://meetings.cshl.edu/courses/c-crys11.shtml Astute viewers of that link
will also note that A Special Symposium Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of
the Protein Data Bank will be included this year's course.
I think the course is an outstanding place to learn both the theoretical and
practical aspects of Macromolecular Crystallography because of the extensive
lectures from world-renowned teachers and the hands-on experiments.
A good description of the course is found at the web link above as well as
in the 3rd edition of Gales Rhodes Crystallography Made Crystal Clear
where he writes on page xvii:
... the Cold Spring Harbor course who, for sixteen years, have offered what
many crystallographers tout as the best classroom and hands-on diffraction
training session on the planet -- 2.5 weeks, 9 AM to 9 PM, packed with labs,
lectures, and computer tutorials, with homework for your spare time.
If any former participants in the course want to add to that description,
please feel free to respond to this thread.
Thanks! Jim
