We are sad to report that the eminent structural biologist Mamannamana Vijayan, NASI Senior Scientist Platinum Jubilee Fellow, Molecular Biophysics Unit, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, died on 24 April 2022 at the age of 80.
21 April 2022 marks the 110th anniversary of the observation of X-ray diffraction in crystals by Walter Friedrich, Paul Knipping and Max von Laue, one of the most important discoveries in the history of science (Forman, 1969).
The next two online lectures in the monthly series of Distinguished Lectures on Quantum Crystallography and Complementary Fields will be presented on Thursday 28 April 2022 at 16:00 CET. Register here to attend.
It has come to our attention that members of the crystallographic community are receiving emails purporting to come from the IUCr President, Hanna Dabkowska.
