> For the first time ever, the 2010 Biomolecular Interactions and  
> Methods GRC at Galveston, Texas will be preceded by a Gordon  
> Research Seminar (GRS).  The GRS is an exciting series of meetings  
> aimed specifically at graduate students, postdocs, and those of  
> comparable experience.  The meeting will give young researchers the  
> chance to present their data and discuss their work in a highly  
> stimulating and informal environment.  The meeting also aims to  
> provide great opportunities for students and postdocs to network  
> with their peers as well as providing the opportunity to interact  
> with several prominent scientists in a relaxed and non-intimidating  
> setting.
>
> The focus of the Biomolecular Interactions and Methods GRS will be  
> on how quantitative biophysical methods, as diverse as kinetics and  
> thermodynamics, protein structure determination, and single molecule  
> studies, can be applied to solve biological problems with an  
> emphasis upon conformational changes and molecular association.  The  
> topics covered by the accompanying GRC include: (1) Protein  
> Interactions and Disease; (2) Intrinsically unstructured proteins  
> and conformational diversity in complexes; (3) Advances in Physical  
> Methods; (4) Macromolecular Assemblages and Machines; (5) Network  
> Dynamics; (6) Advances in Computational Methods; (7) Single Molecule  
> Biophysics; and (8) Kinetics & Thermodynamics.
>
> The seminar will run over two days, January the 16th and 17th. The  
> seminar will be opened with a keynote lecture by Carlos Bustamante,  
> followed by two science sessions, led by Linda Nicholson and  
> Madeline O’Shea and co-chaired by students/postdocs selected from  
> submitted abstracts. Each science session will consist of 4-6 talks  
> (20 min talk, 10 min discussion) given by students and postdocs, and  
> all speakers will be selected from submitted abstracts.  As with the  
> GRC, the guiding principle of the GRS is the presentation of new  
> unpublished work  followed by the free, unhampered discussion, which  
> is due in part to GRC’s  “off the record” policy.  Finally there  
> will be a career panel entitled “Beyond Graduate School” in which  
> attendees are invited to pick the brains of a number of successful  
> academic and industrial scientists.  Further details will be  
> announced on the GRC website as they emerge.
> (http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2010&program=grs_bioint).
>
> We hope to provide financial assistance with registration costs to  
> all our attendees and are currently vigorously fundraising, but the  
> assistance available will be dependent on the success of our  
> fundraising efforts.  The GRC also has some funding available  
> through the Carl Storm Underrepresented Minority Fellowship  
> program.  More information can be found on the following webpage: https://www.grc.org/csf/CSF1.asp?id=2152577
>
> September 16, 2009 is the abstract submission deadline to be  
> considered as speakers and discussion leaders.   The deadline to  
> submit an abstract for a poster presentation is December 26, 2009.  
> We wish to point out that GRS attendees are encouraged to apply for  
> the accompanying GRC as well.
>
> Please forward this email to anybody who might be interested and we  
> hope to see you in Texas!
