This is my first blog entry for the CCDC. I am proud to say that it is a first from the US office – Paul’s previous blog entry doesn’t count as he transferred over from our Cambridge office in the UK. In the six months I have been with the CCDC I have learned a lot, and found it an impressive place to work. More importantly, I’ve now had the chance to interact with quite a few of our US customers. I am continually amazed at how well-respected the organization is by our customers, depositors and contributors. I hope that we can make sure this continues to be the case.
The ramping up of our North American operation coincides with the UNESCO International Year of Crystallography and the 23rd IUCr Congress being in Montreal this year (where it was last held in 1957!). There will be several CCDC staff members there, from both the US and UK, so if you’re attending please come and see the CCDC exhibition stand at booth 213/215!
