We are very pleased to announce that Allan Pang, our webmaster, has won I’m A Scientist, Get Me Out of Here! This is a very tough competition answering the public’s questions and this is quite an a achievement. Allan has also agreed to donate his winnings to fund yet more YCG outreach. Well done Allan!
I recently attended the 30th annual Spring meeting of the British Crystallographic Association at the University of Warwick from 16th-19th April 2012. The program was chaired by Kirsten Christensen (University of Oxford), and included a broad range of lectures from all areas of crystallography.
The Young Crystallographers Group satellite opened the meeting. This is an excellent […]
During National Science and Engineering Week March 2012, the YCG held an outreach event on Crystallography in Reading, in association with the Thames Valley Branch of the British Science Association. We lured local pubgoers with the promise of sweets in exchange for an evening of crystallographic entertainment. Many people took the chance to try their… Read More »
