To briefly summarize our setup: We usually meet 4 times per year, either at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI)[2], the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC)[3], or the Unilever Centre in the Department of Chemistry[4], and start with 2-3 scientific (or software) presentations at 4pm, followed by a visit to a local pub for some socializing. I would estimate that on average ca. 40-50 people are attending, from both companies and research institutes/academia, and this meeting hence represents a relatively informal forum to exchange ideas from the cheminformatics and related fields, and to also simply get to know each other a bit better personally. With this preamble, you are now cordially invited to our next Cambridge Cheminformatics Network Meeting, which will take place on Wednesday, 28 May at 4pm in the Unilever Lecture Theatre[4] at the Department of Chemistry of the University of Cambridge. The presentations on the day will be as follows: "Revisiting Enzyme-Reaction Knowledge Base Using EC-BLAST" Syed Asad Rahman, EBI http://www.ebi.ac.uk/about/people/syed-asad-rahman "Measuring, Mapping and Comparing Protease Substrate Specificity" Julian Fuchs, Unilever Centre http://www-ucc.ch.cam.ac.uk/members/jf544 Subsequently (around 5pm) we will then as usual visit the Alma[5] for a bit of socializing; everybody is very welcome to join in for either or both parts of the event, and no registration is required. You can find the dates and locations of our future meetings at http://c-inf.net/, and if you would like to present your work on a future occasion or would like to be added to our local mailing list (which is used to announce our own meetings as well as local jobs and conferences) please don't hesitate to just get in touch with me. Looking forward to seeing you on the 28th!

Dr. Michael Shermer, the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine and a monthly columnist for Scientific American, is a genuine myth-buster, a relentless crusader against junk science, bad science, voodoo science, pathological science, pseudoscience, and plain old nonsense. Based on his bestselling books Why People Believe Weird Things and The Believing Brain, Dr. Shermers lecture is filled with humor, insight, illusions, and personal anecdotes about his excursions with those on the fringes, as he presents his theory for how the brain forms beliefs. His talk is an entertaining wake-up call that has become a wildly popular presentation and is similar to his two TED talks, which have been viewed by over 5 million people. ------------------------------------------------------ 12:00 Lunch Break ------------------------------------------------------ 14:00 Talk Title TBA S.
