Introduction to Blackboard Sessions
In general, the goal of the "Blackboard Sessions" is to provide a hybrid workshop/spoken-session experience for novice to advanced-intermediate X-ray crystallographers that is centered on a topic within the field of X-ray (macromolecular)crystallography. In other words, talks by the relevant experts are enhanced with 'do-it-yourself' opportunities to work with real data, witness real-time experimentation during the meeting, etc.
Blackboard Session 13.05: X-ray Crystallography Model Validation and Healing
This website accompanies session 13.23, "X-ray Crystallography Model Validation and Healing Session" co-chaired by Edward Collins and Andrew Torelli at the 2013 ACA Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. This year's session focused more heavily on spoken talks than in years past, however validating structural models is of critical interest to the community and we had an excellent opportunity to hear from five speakers with broad expertise on the subject. Thank you again to our speakers for making a successful, informative session and agreeing to provide their presentations for continued access by the audience.
