The organizersd have asked me to call your attention to this event. The Pittsburgh Diffraction Conference, 2000. The 58th annual conference will be held Thursday through Saturday, October 26-28 at the Pittsburgh Airport Holiday Inn. <I caution you to be careful about reading directions on the website because whoever maintains it hAs a diagram for a hotel in Ohio with instructions for the Pittsburgh hotel. Use mapquest.com if you need reliable directions> Hiro Tsuruta (Stanford University) and Michael Agamalian (Oak Ridge National Lab) have organized a symposium on X-ray and neutron small angle scattering. Speakers will include Dmitri Svergun (EMBL-Hamburg), Tom Russell ( U. Mass., Amherst), Lois Pollack (Cornell Univ.), Martin Caffrey (Ohio State Univ.), Cyrus Safinya, Roberto Triolo (Univ. of Palermo), P. Thiyagarajan (Argonne Nat. Lab), John Barker (NIST), J. Lal (Argonne Nat Lab), and Yu Melnichenko (Oak Ridge Nat Lab). Wayne Schultz and Changill Ban (Hauptman-Woodward Institute, Buffalo, NY) have organized a symposium on the phasing of protein crystal structures. Speakers will include Cheng Yang (Mol. Structure Corp.), Celia Chen (NIST), James Liu (Univ. Georgia), Ralf Grosse-Kuntsleve (Brookhaven National Lab.), Linda Hinnick (NIH), Lynne Howell (Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto), Kira Misura (Stanford Univ.) and Brian Matthews (Univ. Oregon). William David (Rutherford Appleby Lab., U. K.) is organizing a symposium on powder diffraction instrumentation and structure determination from powder diffraction data. Details will appear shortly on our web site (see below). Charles Lake (Indiana Univ. of Penna.) will chair the poster session. Posters will be on display throughout the meeting.

Nominations are requested for the Sidhu Award ($500) which is made for an outstanding contribution to diffraction or crystallography. Nominations, consisting of cv for the candidate and sponsoring letter(s), should be sent to Bryan Craven by September 20. The awardee, who must have obtained the PhD after September, 1995, will be invited to give a lecture at the meeting. The conference dinner ($35/ticket) will be at the Holiday Inn on Friday evening. The menu will include a vegetarian dish. The Pittsburgh Airport Holiday Inn, phone (412)-262-3600 is about 7 miles from the airport by courtesy limousine.
