An SSRL Users Organization Update

S. Barrett

Your SSRL Users Organization Executive Committee (SSRLUO-EC) is just a click away. The names and addresses of your elected committee members are available on the web. Please feel free to contact committee members with any issues or concerns you feel should be addressed. The SSRLUO serves in an advisory capacity, and communicates general users' needs and concerns to senior SSRL management. David McKay of Stanford University will be taking the helm of the Executive Committee in October. David's area of expertise is protein crystallography. His research focuses on the structure and mechanism of macromolecules, including molecular chaperones involved in the stress response in cells, chaperones involved in RNA function, and structure of catalytic RNA molecules (ribozymes). He will be succeeding David Shuh of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as chairperson.
