MOOT XXIV - second announcement
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that online registration is now open for the MOOT XXIV NMR Symposium which will be taking place October 22nd-23rd (2011) in Toronto, Ontario, hosted at the Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto. Details are available on the conference website, http://www.mootnmr.org
Abstracts for both oral and poster presentations can be submitted online during the registration process.
The MOOT NMR Symposium has traditionally been a meeting bringing together NMR spectroscopists from across Ontario, Quebec, and more recently the Maritimes and the nearby United States. This trainee-oriented meeting aims to give blossoming researchers the opportunity to present their research to the close-knit Canadian NMR community. Talks and posters will be held at the Hospital for Sick Children, located in the Discovery District of downtown Toronto, and the banquet will be held at historic Hart House on the University of Toronto campus.
In addition, Agilent Technologies will be holding a day long symposium and mixer the day before this year's MOOT (Oct. 21). More information regarding the agenda and location for this symposium will be posted soon and available on http://www.spinsights.net
If you have any questions or comments, please send a message to (mootnmr "at" gmail.com), or contact Simon Sharpe (ssharpe "at" sickkids.ca).
We look forward to seeing you in October!
