Colleagues, My apologies for sending this message to CCP4BB, but I wanted to make sure to reach as many BioMac SIG members and other potential attendees as possible.
The Biological Macromolecules Scientific Interest Group (BioMac) of the American Crystallographic Association requests your input for planning the scientific sessions to be held at the ACA National Meeting in Toronto on July 20-24, 2018. The procedure for planning the BioMac program at ACA 2018 has 5 phases: Phase 1. BioMac SIG members (or other interested colleagues in the field) propose sessions (see below). Phase 2. BioMac SIG officers review proposals for thematic overlap and work with the proposers to combine session ideas where possible and identify co-sponsoring SIGS. Phase 3. The proposals are made available for review by the BioMac SIG members. Phase 4. BioMac SIG members prioritize the sessions by voting at the SIG meeting at the 2017 New Orleans meeting. Phase 5. SIG officers convey the results to the ACA during the planning session held after the 2017 New Orleans meeting. We are in Phase 1. If you want to propose a session, fill out the word document linked below, including the session title, session chairs and their affiliations, description of the theme, and potential speakers. Email the document to me (use reply keeping the subject line, not reply-all). Deadline for submitting proposals is March 1, 2017. We look forward to your input. Sincerely, Jack Tanner Chair BioMac SIG Session proposal form: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lwgtu08g2oy9lyc/TorontoSessionProposal.docx?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/8p1yce872vkcje5/TorontoSessionProposal.pdf?dl=0
