Workshop attracts surprising response
The idea was to have a small workshop on structural biology and molecular biophysics. The expectations were low. As one of the workshop organizers, Kathryn Cleaves, an administrator in the Eppley Institute, said: “We were worried that only 10 people would show up.”
The end result is that more than 150 people have signed up for the workshop, which will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at the Eppley Science Hall Amphitheater.
