The Canadian Light Source Annual Users' Meeting will be held at
the University of Saskatchewan Friday, June 16 to Sunday, June 18,
2006. The meeting is a great opportunity to learn about the progress
of the Canadian Light Source, present your recent synchrotron work
and meet fellow users. This years’ meeting will be held in
conjunction with the 3 rd Northern Lights Summer Conference of the Canadian
Federation of Biological Societies Wednesday, June 14 to Friday,
June 16, 2006—joint sessions will be held on June 16. The theme
of the Northern Lights conference is ‘ Shining Light on Biological
Processes’.
