"There never was a bad man that had ability for good service" Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
Who We Are
The Service Crystallography Special Interest Group was formed to provide a forum for professional service crystallographers. The membership serves in both academia and industry and consists of both small-molecule and macromolecular crystallographers. Membership is open to any ACA member who wishes to join.
What We Do....audio
Much of our fun takes place at the national meeting of the American Crystallographic Association. The next ACA Meeting will take place in Orlando, Florida from May 28 to June 2, 2005. A primary meeting activity of the SIG is the sponsoring of scientific sessions of special interest to service crystallographers. Sessions sponsored by the Service SIG this year include "Data Collection Strategies" and "Presentation Techniques and Publication of Results."
The Service SIG Business Meeting (minutes from 2003 Covington, KY meeting) will be held Monday (May 30, 2005) at 5:30 pm. Here we make plans for the following year's meeting and discuss various topics of specific interest to the SIG membership. Take advantage of these opportunities to participate and meet some of your fellow service SIGgers.
