Message-ID: <2.2.32.20070108034913.009b0ae4@mail.magma.ca> Hi All, For IUCr XXI in Japan, following is the list of tentative teaching topics we discussed in September 2006. http://www.iucr.org/iucr-top/lists/teaching-commission/index.html Any changes/additions/modifications to this? Suggested session chairs? I guess we now have to suggest a plenary speaker on the topic of teaching? My recommendation (if he has not retired by then), would be David Watkin to present on crystallography teaching to chemists.

From kkantardjieff at Exchange.FULLERTON.EDU Mon Jan 8 21:12:27 2007 From: kkantardjieff at Exchange.FULLERTON.EDU (Kantardjieff, Katherine) Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2007 13:12:27 -0800 Subject: IUCr Teaching topics and plenary speaker for IUCr XXI? Message-ID: <43F0C997AEC4C046997F358A0DA06022027C216B@e2k5.AD.FULLERTON.EDU> Given the efforts the US Committee has made in this area over the last year, I would like to offer that I or a member of the USNC/Cr education subcommittee next year speak in this symposium. Moreover, as we seem to have a huge problem with the training of macromolecular crystallographers and educating non-crystallographers, I would like to see a keynote speaker who can cover both sides of the fence as it were. As our education policy document notes, while fundamentals may be similar, goals are different. How about someone like Brian Matthews, Bernie Santarsiero, Maria Carrondo, Paula Fitzgerald, George Sheldrick, Eleanor Dodson, Alex McPherson.
