the 15<sup>th</sup> International Symposium and Workshop on Analytical
Ultracentrifugation is next Monday 13<sup>th</sup> February. Once we receive
all the abstracts, the Organising Committee will be able to assemble the
Scientific Programme for speakers and posters at the Symposium. When this is
ready, the Programme will be released onto the meeting web site. </span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>Registrations have been coming in at a healthy rate for both
the Workshop and Symposium, and more people have emailed to say they will be
coming. So it looks as if there will be excellent opportunities for
interactions between ultracentrifugation practitioners at all levels of the
technology. There are proposals to present exciting new software and
technology developments which should be of interest to all. There will
also be a commercial exhibition.</span></font></p>
