(Pacific) Northwest Crystallography Workshop http://oregonstate.edu/conferences/event/nwcw2014/ June 20-22, 2014 Registration is now open for this year's edition of the Northwest Crystallography Workshop. It is being hosted at Oregon State University in Corvallis in the heart of the Willamette Valley surrounded by wine country, wildlife refuges, and with both the Cascade Mountains and the Pacific Ocean within easy driving distance. It can be easily accessed from either the Portland or Eugene airports. This biennial meeting has been held at various locations in the Pacific Northwest since 1981. It has always proven to be a great venue to meet other researchers in the region who are interested both in using macromolecular crystallography to solve structures and in developing and enhancing methods. The "workshop" part of the name will be taken seriously. We will have talks and posters with priority for speaking slots given to students and post-docs who focus on methodologies or interesting structure determination stories, and/or how structural observations provide insight into function and biology. There will be a reception on Friday evening. On Saturday there will be talks during the day and a banquet followed by a keynote address in the evening. Talks will continue on Sunday morning with the workshop wrapping-up at noon. A light lunch will be served on Saturday and a boxed lunch will be available on Sunday. Register today and get your abstracts submitted anytime between now and the April 30 abstract deadline. We've tried to keep registration costs low and early registration (through April 30) is $75 for students and $100 for others. Reasonably priced on-campus dormitory housing is available and must be arranged at the time of registration. Special rates at two local hotels have been arranged for those who want to book their own lodgings. We look forward to a great meeting and celebration of the International Year of Crystallography.
