Crystallography matters ... more!

Each Fall the CCCE (Committee on Computers in Chemical Education) of the American Chemical Society hosts online discussions of recent work of relevance to the use of computers in chemical education. The authors of each paper are available to discuss their work with the community on the days assigned to their papers, and both the papers and discussion are archived on our site. You do not need to be a member of ACS, CHED or the CCCE to participate in these discussion, but need to set up a free account by contacting the site moderator, Bob Belford at rebelford@ualr.edu.

This year, the schedule features a contribution on the International Year of Crystallography 2014 by Brian McMahon and Michele Zema from the IUCr. The full article entitled "IYCr2014: Spreading the Word About Crystallography in an International Year" is available here and will be discussed online on 24-26 November.
