Dear CCP4BBer Joseph Orgel (Illinois Institute of Technology) and I are organising a session at this year's virtual ACA meeting entitled 'Rosalind Franklin: 101st Anniversary'. This is to be held virtually but we hope live on 2nd August 2021 from 12pm till 3pm Eastern Daylight Time (UK 17:00 to 20:00). The Abstract submission deadline is 23rd May, so please do submit a contribution which is related to Rosalind Franklin's amazing legacy (session number 2.1.5). The link to the meeting is: https://www.acameeting.com/ Best wishes Elspeth and Joseph
Session description: It is 101 years since the birth of Rosalind Franklin, famous for her part in defining the structure of DNA. However, this achievement constituted only a small part of her scientific output in a career that was sadly cut short due to her untimely death at the age of 37. In this session, we will explore her foundational contributions to X-ray diffraction methods and crystallographic approaches. This is in addition to her role in advancing our understanding of the chemistry of coal, of the structure of DNA and of the three-dimensional arrangements of viruses. ---------------------------------------------------- Elspeth F.
