The 17th talk in the ESS/Lund university seminar series took place on Friday 25th February. Cameron Neylon from ISIS was the speaker and his topic was "Neutron Scattering and Reflection: The tools you need for the structural biology problems you can't solve". He gave a rather unusual and well-received talk, using as his device the jigsaw puzzle which sent the message that solving the complexities of tricky biological problems requires piecing together the evidence from whichever source you can find, neutron scattering being one crucial input.

What was revealing about this talk was the audience it attracted since it was held in the Oncology Department of the university hospital. Around 50 people turned up, and the discussion wax rather extensive, which shows that there really is an untapped scientific community wanting to know what neutron scattering can do for their research topics.

Pictured here back in the ESS offices are three members of the ESS science team, Pascale Deen, Sofie Botegård and Hanna Wacklin who are introducing Cameron to the Swedish tradition of fika. More about fika, and other Swedish traditions, in a later blog...
