Hello all,
The annual SSRL/LCLS Users’ Meeting at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory will be held from September 22-27, 2024. The Metals in Structural Biology Workshop is scheduled for Friday Sept 27 from 8:30am-5pm Pacific Time (Agenda below). 2024 will be the seventh year the workshop is running during the SSRL/LCLS User’s Meeting. We have had some fantastic interactions in the last few years. Our goal is to continue to bring together a group of people to speak on various aspects of studying metals in biology using synchrotron, XFEL, cryo-EM, and neutron sources, as well as to discuss future goals and needs. Registration for the full SSRL/LCLS Users Meeting is still open (registration link: https://tinyurl.com/yc6mp8ps). There are a lot of amazing sessions at this year’s meeting! If you are unable to attend in person, we have set up a Zoom session (Zoom registration link: https://tinyurl.com/5e57krpk). Note the zoom link is for the Metals in Structural Biology Workshop only. Please join us if you are interested!
