<div class="">Dear BB,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><b class="">Tomorrow is the abstract deadline</b> for the Gordon Research Seminar in Diffraction Methods 2018 at Bates College, Maine (28-29th July 2018).</div>
<div class="">Applications/abstracts received after this date<b class=""> (28th April)
</b>will still be able to attend and present posters, but will not be considered for oral presentations. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This year’s title is <b class="">Crystallography 2.0: Restructuring the Field Around a New Wave of Experiments</b></div>
<div class=""><b class=""><br class="">
</b></div>
<div class="">We want to have as many young scientists (Post-docs, PhD candidates & Master’s students) at the GRS (and associated GRC) as possible. For Jessica and myself, the 2016 Diffraction Methods GRS & GRC was the best conference we’ve attended during
our PhDs, since it allowed us to present our research directly to our peers in a relaxed setting; it also gave many of us the opportunity to gain first-hand experience as session chairs -- an opportunity that is difficult to find as a young scientist. On top
of this, the intimate nature and relatively small size of Gordon conferences helped us to build more long-lasting international connections than at any other conference we have attended. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Of course, the GRS can only be truly successful if a wide variety of viewpoints are represented — so please consider attending. </div>
<div class="">We would greatly appreciate it if you could also forward this invitation to any young scientists for whom you think this conference might be valuable.</div>

<div class="">We hope to see you in July,</div>
