RiAus PDplus: Crystallography

Date: Wednesday 25 June, 2014

Watch live online: riaus.org.au/livestreaming

Free, registration required at riaus.org.au/events/pdplus-crystallography/

2014 is the UNESCO International Year of Crystallography, celebrating 100 years since X-ray diffraction allowed scientists to study the detailed structure of crystalline materials. Now crystallography is used in practically all science disciplines, from geologists analysing and dating meteorites to chemists synthesising new drugs to fight disease.

This online session will outline the scientific principles behind crystallography, how it is being used currently, and the problems it could help to solve in the future. Potential career paths and in-class activities will also be discussed.

This is a great thing to do
My hubby Bob passed away and two men can now see because of his donation.

My very good friend here at our school recently donated a kidney to her husband.
It's a long road for both of them but they are doing ok.
