Exchange of Protocols of Laboratory Experiments Preliminary Announcement After the London Summer School on “The Teaching of Practical Biochemistry to Medical Students”, it has been decided to organize an exchange of protocols of laboratory experiments between laboratories in the European area. Biochemistry departments which are prepared to submit protocols and departments which are interested in receiving them are requested to inform Professor RCrokaert, Laboratory of Biochemistry, 115, Boulevard de Waterloo, Brussels 1, Belgium, preferably before 31 March 1969. Detailed information concerning the organization of the exchange will be notified to those who express an interest. It should be understood that this exchange is intended to be limited to laboratory experiments for elementary students and to laboratories which are genuinely engaged in teaching.
Further information may be obtained from the Secretary of the appropriate Society (see list on preceding page).
