Virtual Course Version 2: 16 July 2003

Welcome to the Virtual Course Page of International School of Crystallography held in Erice June 4-15 2003. This Virtual Course is of the 34th Course: High Pressure Crystallography.

Here is how to use this material: download the ppt (if available). Watch the video, using the low resolution visual clues to advance the powerpoint manually on your computer.

Live broadcasts began Jun 10 at 3pm and lasted until June 14 6pm. If you find this page useful, please email your comments to John Irwin. Several links are still broken. They will be fixed soon, I hope. These lectures are also available on CD ROM and DVD for people with slow Internet connections. Email jji@cgl.ucsf.edu if you are interested. Your patience and comments are appreciated. Depending on how your browser and your machine is configured, you may prefer to view the video in a browser windows (Video link) or to download it entirely first (wmp link). Unfortunately, video through Wed June 11 10:30 was recorded as Windows Media 9. This means you need Windows Media 9 or suitable codecs to view this video. Later video was recorded in Windows Media 7, which may be viewed on a wider range of players. We have learned our lesson. If the video does not play, try doing shift-reload/refresh in your browser. In some systems codecs may be required. Click here to download them. Thanks to Armand Budzianowski [armand@amu.edu.pl] for the Windows Media Player plugin and other work. Armi's server in Poznan: hpc.amu.edu.pl/erice/ Thanks to Kamil Dziubek for recording the audio and video, monitoring the chat room, and other work. Thanks to the Shoichet Laboratory in the Dept. of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the University of California, San Francisco for the loan of John Irwin.
