My (limited) experience of the Diffraction Methods GRC suggests that the most valuable part of these meetings is when people get together outside the talks - so independent of the session chairs (apart from the people that they invite) and of any instructions given to speakers. Just my two

Whether cross-pollination happens depends on the session chairs, and the remit they're given, and the instructions given to the speakers:  if early on everybody sets the tone, to inform as much as advertise, then it could be a rip-roaringly interesting meeting. At least, I've never

Hi all, I'm a big believer in cross-pollination between disciplines. I think there could be room for a multidisciplinary methods meeting (MMM) provided the right topics are chosen. If these are things that concern NMR-ists, X-ray-ans and cryo-EM-ers equally you might get the right mix of

Hi, everybody, hi, Nukri and Pavel ! I fully agree with Pavel that, if the speakers are not exceptional, if they are (as usually) concentrated on their specific and narrow problems, cross-discipline meetings make us lost quite fast, they are annoying and useless. Richard Feynmann had the same

Hi All One of the joys of this meeting to me is that it is *not* about the science results and instead explicitly about how you get to those results. I worry that any meeting focussed on complimentary methods would inevitably coalesce around the common themes - science results - and become yet
