The founder of the Maria Goeppert-Mayer Interdisciplinary Symposium,
Professor Kim Baldridge, is bringing a similarly styled interdisciplinary meeting to the Univeristy of Zurich. The inaugural Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin Symposium will take place Friday 5 May 2006 at the University of Zurich. For this years event, and in those of future years, DCH Symposium will welcome researchers—from computer science and biology to medicinal chemistry and protein crystallography—to come together and share their experiences in celebration of the achievements of Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin.

In addition to her accomplishments as a founder of the science of protein crystallography, Fellow of the Royal Society (1947), and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1964) for her solution of vitamin B-12, Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, was a recognized advocate for world peace. The DCH Interdisciplinary Symposium is being developed to recognize the unassuming yet enduring efforts of this remarkable woman.

Students are encouraged to participate and to present a poster. The poster session will take place later in the afternoon. To register for the event and for poster session please, click here.

We look forward to meeting you there.
