The Industrial Special Interest Group and Young Scientists Special Interest Group of the American Crystallographic Association will be hosting a scientific session on Sunday, May 25, 2014 during the ACA Meeting in Albuquerque, New Mexico which will highlight research by young scientists (undergraduate, graduate, post-doc) that is done in industry or in collaboration with industry. We encourage young scientists in this area to submit an abstract for consideration for a talk during this session. A brief description of the session is highlighted below, 1.2.1 Industrial Research from Young ScientistsOrganizers: George Lountos, Pete Wood An industrial environment can provide invaluable research and career experience for students and other young scientists. At the same time a short or long term research placement can provide an industrial partner with the opportunity to have very focussed research carried out in an otherwise time-stretched setting. This session will showcase research being performed by young scientists at any level (undergraduate, post-graduate or early post-doctoral) either within industry or funded by industry.
The deadline for abstract submission is January 31, 2014. Abstracts may be submitted online at http://www.amercrystalassn.org/2014-abstracts Young scientists wishing to present at the meeting are also encouraged to apply for a Travel Grant. http://www.amercrystalassn.org/2014-young-scientists If you have any questions, feel free to contact the session organizers, Pete Wood (w...@ccdc.cam.ac.uk) or George Lountos (lount...@mail.nih.gov) Thanks, George George Lountos, Ph.D.Basic Science ProgramLeidos Biomedical Research, Inc.Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer ResearchFrederick, MD 21702
