Several groups from the ALS hosted a booth at the 67th Annual Meeting of the American Crystallographic Association in New Orleans at the end of May. Staff from the crystallography, small-angle X-ray scattering, and X-ray footprinting beamlines were present, and flyers for infrared and soft X-ray tomography beamlines were also available. Many structural biologists from around the country visited the booth and participated in a jelly bean counting contest, which was won by a Berkeley Center for Structural Biology user from the pharmaceutical company Nurix.
