> The 6^th Brazil school is now oversubscribed and we are *only  
> accepting registrations for our waiting list*.
>
> THE SIXTH BRAZIL SCHOOL FOR SINGLE PARTICLE CRYO-EM.
>
> 14-26 August 2014 (Socorro, São Paulo, Brazil)  
> (www.single-particles.org/school  
> <http://www.single-particles.org/school>).
>
> Our single-particle school is an intensive 12-day hands-on  
> course/workshop, in which theory and practice are tightly  
> intertwined. The understanding of the fundamental principles of the  
> cryo-EM methodology stands central and a few pioneers of the  
> methodology will explain the approaches to the participants to the  
> level where they can apply it themselves. The spectrum of topics  
> covered suits attendees who are new to the field as well as those  
> for whom the technique is of growing importance and who wish to  
> acquire an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles.
>
> The final days of the meeting will be devoted to advanced topics  
> such as high-resolution refinements and the processing of  
> heterogeneous data sets ("4D cryo–EM”). Special lectures on advanced  
> subjects will be presented by Niko Grigorieff (Janelia Farm), Wah  
> Chiu (Baylor College), Bruno Klaholz (IGBMC),Ardan Patwardhan  
> (EMBL-EBI), and Marin van Heel (Leiden University). Advanced topics  
> will include:
>
>  1) Reaching atomic resolution without reference bias: adhering to  
> “gold standard” refinement procedures
>
>  2) Automatic, full data-set CTF correction from huge data  
> collection experiments (FEI “KRIOS”)
>
>  3) Optimizing data collection with modern image transducers (direct  
> electrons detectors; exploiting movies)
>
>  4) Unbiased Random Startup of 3D and 4D reconstructions
