I guess I will pose this as a question... Can anyone think of a higher quality scientific conference than the CCP4 Study Weekend? I take my hat off to the scientific organizers of the 2009 meeting - Clemnes Vonrhein, Elspeth Garman, and Arwen Pearson as well as all of the speakers. This year's program was very interesting and a great balance between practical and the theoretical. Good job to all involved. And if you have never attended a CCP4 Study Weekend, I highly recommend it (although it can be rather cold). Paul Swepston
