My video “How to Set up Protein Crystallization Experiments” has been selected for inclusion in the American Crystallographic Association’s library. To my delight, I received a prize for this. Thank you, thank you. Spread the word about this new website resource and encourage your colleagues and friends to submit their videos as well. Here is the list of topics they are interested in. Why not send them something for their spring contest?
Crystallization
Advanced Methods in Macromolecular Crystallization, FEBS course 9-15 June 2024
Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic
This laboratory-intensive workshop has been running for 20 years. I will be lecturing on recognizing drop phenomena (and what to do with them) as well as “Crystallization Strategies for the Desperate”. Deadline for application is 10 April. Read more here.
HTCC6 Advanced Macromolecular Crystallography Workhop 7-12 April 2024, Dubovnik, Croatia
I’m pleased to say that I will be teaching again at the HTCC6, Hot Topics in Crystallography. The HTCC series is held in one of Europe’s most beautiful venues, Dubrovnik. You can already apply for bursaries to attend. Read more here:
SEACOAST 29 Jan – 7 Feb 2024
SEACOAST is back again after a long hiatus due to Covid. The last one was in 2020.
This is a collaborative X-ray crystallography workshop between King Mongkut’s University of Technology, Thonburi (KMUTT) Thailand, and CCP4 with the possibility to collect your data at Diamond Light Source (UK). CryoEM and neutron diffraction will also be covered.
Read more and sign up before 15 Dec 2023.
Crystallization Workshop, University of Tromsö, 4-8 December 2023
The C13 Biocat-sponsored course will be held again this year—this time in December. This is your chance to learn not only about protein crystallization, but to see the northern lights as well. The mornings are spent in lectures and followed by full afternoons of crystallization lab work.

Macromolecular Crystallography at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory 16-31 October 2023
Just back from my week teaching in this course. Intensive training from 08.30 a.m. to 11.00 p.m. The first week we grow crystals, then send them to the Brookhaven Synchrotron for data collection. The second week is spent solving the structures.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
Course in Macromolecular Crystallography, October 10-25, 2022
I will be teaching in the crystallization section, along with Janet Newman, Martin Caffrey, Jim Pflugrath, and others. They have been regular instructors in this course for many years and I join them for the first time at this venerable venue.
C13 Crystallization of Biological Macromolecules
Venue: University of Tromsö, Norway
Dates: 29 August to 2 September 2022
This is one of the courses organized by BioCat, Norwegian Graduate School in Biocatalysis. 10 hours of lectures and 30 hours of hands-on laboratory exercises. 3 HCTS. I will be teaching on Monday and Tuesday. Register through the host university, University of Tromsö.

Softcover version of the book is now available
Why two formats of the Third Edition? PDF books have many advantages. They can be downloaded right away and easily stored on the computer. They are searchable to some extent, although nothing replaces a well-curated index. (Yes, the third edition has such an index.)
However, research shows that deep reading is done best with printed text. The publisher International University Line offers both formats of the book so that readers can choose the one that suits them best. I hope this makes the book as accessible as possible.
The pdf is available directly from the publisher. The print version can be bought on amazon. While I am no fan of amazon, their platform is the most expedient way for the book to reach an international readership.
C13 Crystallization of Biological Molecules 6-10 September 2021, Tromsö, Norway
This is one of the courses organized by BioCat, Norwegian Graduate School in Biocatalysis. 10 hours of lectures and 30 hours of hands-on laboratory exercises. 3 HCTS. I will be teaching on Monday and Tuesday. Register through the host university, University of Tromsö. More information here.
