OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Please join us for our next “Comp Chem Kitchen” CCK Hackathon, 10 am – 5 pm on Thursday, December 13th, 2018, in the Computer Suite, Department of Biochemistry, South Parks Road, Oxford. Speakers from the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre will be present to help out on projects using the the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) Python API.
The CSD is the world’s oldest database of small molecule and metal-organic crystal structures, with approaching a million entries. If you’re interested in small molecules or even how they interact with proteins, or you want to learn more about Python and cheminformatics, please come along.
Registration now open, but places are limited, so please register before December 11th, 2018.
The hackathon will follow this format:
In advance: assembly of ideas and teams via website. On the day:
10.00 am: Introduction.
Assemble 4-8 teams with some expertise in each.
10.30 am – 12.30 pm: Hacking – design and tools
