Exploring structural database use in crystallography: a workshop series of the U.S. National Committee for Crystallography

The U.S. National Committee for Crystallography (USNC/Cr) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine provided an online workshop series for researchers on the use, development, and maintenance of crystallographic and structural databases in the Spring of 2022. Encompassing macromolecular, small molecule, and powder diffraction information, the series included 11 modules each meeting for 1 or 2 days. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty members and researchers in any of the crystallographic, diffraction, and imaging sciences affiliated with the International Union of Crystallography (IUCr) were encouraged to register and participate in the training sessions that interest them.
