Crystallography News June 2006 1 From the President WRITING this, my fi rst of offi ce. Particular thanks go to the outgoing president, column, shortly after Chick Wilson, whose contribution to the BCA has the Spring Meeting at been enormous. The initiatives regarding the Young Lancaster, I would like Crystallographers and the expansion of the meetings to start by thanking all to involve other organisations have been largely at his those people whose hard instigation. His overwhelming enthusiasm and good work and dedication humour will be missed, but I am very pleased to say that contributed to making he will be remaining on Council for another year to show the Meeting such a the “new boy” the ropes. I would also like to welcome success. It was very much onto Council Bill Clegg, Richard Cooper, David a team effort, and thanks Beveridge and Matt Tucker, and congratulate Elspeth go to the BCA Offi cers, Garman on her re-election. It is also a great pleasure the programme committee, the group representatives to welcome Garry Taylor onto Council as a co-opted and the session chairs for producing such a multifaceted member (when my enthusiastic co-opting has been and interesting programme. The contribution from the ratifi ed by Council). Finally, with Council permission, I British Association of Crystal Growth is also very much welcome Simon Coles, who will represent the Young appreciated, and we hope that the success of the synergy Crystallographers. between the two groups will lead to further joint meetings. We are also most grateful to Northern Networking Events We also welcome two honorary members, who have made for the whole of the conference organisation, the staff great contributions to Crystallography and to the BCA, of the Lancaster Conference Centre for providing able Chris Gilmore and Peter Main. There will be more about support, and all our sponsors without whose support them in the September Issue. the Meeting could not have taken place. My fi nal thanks, specifi cally relating to the Meeting, go to the 360+ of you It is with great sadness that I have to report the recent that attended and contributed through giving lectures, passing of two distinguished members of the BCA, presenting a record number of posters, asking questions Pat Tollin and Uli Arndt. They will be greatly missed, and and interacting with the rest of the community. their contributions to crystallography will be recognized in full obituaries in a future edition of Crystallography News. You will be pleased to know that the planning for the Spring Meeting next year that will be held at the University I have been giving some thought to my period as BCA of Kent at Canterbury between 17-19 April is already President. I would certainly wish to strengthen the BCA well under way. The Programme Committee, under by making it as inclusive an association as possible, and the chairmanship of Lindsay Sawyer, is meeting in continue the work to form links with other associations early May. The Programme Committee brings together and societies that have common interests with us, whilst not representatives of the BCA subject groups and others, forgetting the strengths of our core membership. I would this year including colleagues from the XRF community also like to further develop the theme of crystallographic and the British Association of Crystal Growth as well as education by promoting crystallography at the undergraduate from the Young Crystallographers who formed their own and secondary school level now that the postgraduates Special Interest Group during the Lancaster Meeting. The are excellently catered for by the Young Crystallographers. I Meeting at Canterbury next year represents a milestone would certainly welcome thoughts and suggestions in these in the development of the BCA, as it will be our 25th areas from the membership. Anniversary Meeting, and I am particularly looking forward to a programme that celebrates our successes and refl ects The summer will be busy crystallographically. We have the “cutting edge” science that is being carried out by the the ECM23 in Leuven between 6-11 August as the focal community. point. The programme looks to be wide ranging and should have areas of interest for everyone. I look forward This year there have been quite a number of changes to attending the meeting and renewing contacts with to the membership of Council.

My core belief is that we have the quality of staff and students to be clearly No. 1 in the world, but that we have neglected some of the“people”issues as the Department has grown in size and breadth of activity. Accordingly, a critical aspect of my job over the last few months has been to stress that every member of CEB, be they academic or non-academic, has a critical role to play in achieving the Department’s aspirations. As a result, our mission statement has a clear emphasis on commitment to the staff of the Department to ensure that we are able to offer attractive opportunities for work and study irrespective of gender and to demonstrate our commitment to equality and diversity.

Thanks to a combination of donations and investment performance, we have added one new scholarship this year, making this the largest cohort in our history. The Churchill Scholarship is for one year of Master’s study at Churchill College in the University of Cambridge. The awards cover full tuition, a stipend, travel costs, and the chance to apply for a $2,000 special research grant. Many Churchill Scholars describe their year in Cambridge as the best year of their lives. What makes the experience so exceptional is the unique opportunity to focus on independent research, the welcoming and non-hierarchical culture of Cambridge labs, the emphasis on work- life balance, and the rich environment for personal growth that Cambridge provides.
