Starting July 6, we began the Asia-Pacific edition of the Rigaku School for Practical Crystallography. I feel this edition went more smoothly even though we had almost as many students; practice makes perfect. We are still in the process of administering the exam for the Certificate of Achievement so watch this space for more information next month.

In this issue of Crystallography Times, we spotlight the XtalCheck-S, Chengfeng Ke’s laboratory at Dartmouth College. You will also find useful links, educational videos, our monthly survey, links to products on our website, and a short review of a very long book. Last but not least, we are in the final stages of organizing an Online User Meeting for August 12 and 13. You’ll find more information about this in the newsletter.

Be safe, be sane,

Joe Ferrara
