Contribute Explore Learn Engage 2016 Science Research Conference (SRC) Directory Engage Learn Explore Contribute REGISTER NOW! www.FASEB.org/SRC Invitation to Attend Dear Prospective Attendee, On behalf of the FASEB Science Research Conferences program, we would like to invite you to participate in our 2016 conference series. FASEB SRCs are held annually at several locations worldwide, with an average of 100 to 150 attendees per conference. These intimate settings allow attendees to have in-depth discussions about the science presented, its future, and the contributions they hope to make in their respective fields. Each meeting spans five days, allowing time for established scientists to share their work and for trainees to participate in Meet-the-Expert Sessions. Participants also have the opportunity to present their research either as short-talks or during poster sessions. In addition, the SRCs provide a welcoming environment for scientific discourse, collaboration, and opportunities to mentor the next generation of researchers. Please join more than 4,000 researchers who will be participating in one or more of the 36 conferences this year. We look forward to seeing you!

  • Communicating Biochemistry: Meetings and Events
    © The Authors. Volume compilation © 2011 Portland Press Limited Chapter 3 Communicating Biochemistry: Meetings and Events Ian Dransfield and Brian Beechey Scientific conferences organized by the Biochemical Society represent a key facet of activity throughout the Society’s history and remain central to the present mission of promoting the advancement of molecular biosciences. Importantly, scientific conferences are an important means of communicating research findings, establishing collaborations and, critically, a means of cementing the community of biochemical scientists together. However, in the past 25 years, we have seen major changes to the way in which science is communicated and also in the way that scientists interact and establish collabo- rations. For example, the ability to show videos, “fly through” molecular structures or show time-lapse or real-time movies of molecular events within cells has had a very positive impact on conveying difficult concepts in presentations. However, increased pressures on researchers to obtain/maintain funding can mean that there is a general reluctance to present novel, unpublished data. In addition, the development of email and electronic access to scientific journals has dramatically altered the potential for communi- cation and accessibility of information, perhaps reducing the necessity of attending meetings to make new contacts and to hear exciting new science. The Biochemical Society has responded to these challenges by progressive development of the meetings format to better match the

The group continues to provide such opportunities for scientists that work in many different areas associated with magnetic resonance. On this occasion, we are delighted to be hosting a joint two-day event in conjunction with the British Biophysical Society, facilitating exchange of information from cutting-edge research activities in Biophysics and Molecular Biology. There will also be opportunities to present posters and meet informally with other research workers. In particular, early career research workers are encouraged to attend the event, and bursaries will be made available to those who submit an abstract which is accepted for either a poster or short oral presentation.

Smith, Kevin Giles, Robert H. Bateman, Sheena E. Rad- ford, and Alison E. Ashcroft, J. Am. Soc. Mass Spectrom., 2007, 18, 2180–2190. “The Ron Hites Award recognizes a high quality presentation of outstanding original research. Selection is based on a paper’s innovative aspects, technical quality, likely stimulation of future research, likely impact on future applications, and quality of presentation. The Award is named in honor of Professor Ronald A. Hites of Indiana University, who led the creation of JASMS in 1988 while president of ASMS.” (from the 2009 ASMS Conference Program). The award was announced in an editorial by ASMS president, Gary Glish, JASMS, No- vember 2008, 19, 1577. Alison Ashcroft is Professor of Biomolecular Mass Spectrometry in the Astbury Centre for Structural Mo- lecular Biology and the Faculty of Biological Sciences at the University of Leeds, UK.
