Organizers of the American Crystallographic Association’s annual meeting expect that several new programs on the bill and an exotic locale will translate into high attendance numbers this year.
The 2006 meeting runs Saturday, 22 July through Friday, 28 July at the Sheraton Waikiki Beach Hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii, and at press time, about 600 attendees had registered with more expected, according to program chair Judith A.
