This week the Australasian neutron scattering community is hosting the 2nd Asia-Oceania Conference on Neutron Scattering in the beach resort of Manly, just across the harbour from central Sydney. The program features a tour of the OPAL Reactor, the National Deuteration Facility and our instruments.
ANSTO is very well represented with around 60 attendees from the Bragg Institute alone. Three of our staff are giving invited talks at the meeting: a plenary on "Neutrons for Biology: Protein Interactions, Dynamics and Hydration", by Katy Wood, a keynote on "Understanding Functional Framework Materials using Neutron Scattering and Computational Methods" by Vanessa Peterson and the opening talk in the Neutron Science Facility Session by Institute Head Rob Robinson. His talk is followed by other invited talks from all the other major neutron facilities in Asia (in Japan, Korea, India, China and Indonesia).
