We held our fourth 'advanced' student workshop in the KSC area at the
Cocoa Beach Hilton Hotel January 23rd through January 25th, 2004.
Eight teachers and 23 students from Duval, Clay, Pasco, Brevard and
Manatee (first timers) Counties participated in the workshop. The
workshop consisted of two days of activities for the participants. Saturday
was devoted reviewing the procedures used in the past for making flight
samples and conducting training in protein crystallization methods. Greg
Jenkins brought his team of University of California at Irvine (UCI)/NASA
personnel to run their portion of the workshop. It was great to see each
member of his team; Wendell and LIla Ellrod and Merle Myers again as we
had worked with each before at previous workshops. The crystallxzation
methods module was conducted by Jeff Dowell, a PhD student fro the University
of Alabama Huntsville. He took Anna Holmes'lace who was off in Russia
at the Cosmodrome preparing for the launch of her protein crystallization
experiment onboard a Soyuz rocket bound for the space station. The second
day was available for participants to tour the Kennedy Space Center.
