One thousand IUCr delegates appear in orange Oxford Diffraction ‘T’ shirts and baseball capsThe 2005 IUCr Tri-annual conference in Florence was awash with a sea of 1000 orange ‘T’ shirts and baseball caps as one third of the delegates tried to win a laptop computer from Oxford Diffraction.On the 26th August, at the tri-annual International Union of Crystallography meeting in Florence the conference hall and lectures were awash with Oxford Diffraction orange ‘T’ shirts and baseball caps. Throughout the week long commercial exhibition attached to the conference Oxford Diffraction had been giving away branded orange ‘T’ shirts and baseball caps as part of their competition to win a Samsung X20 laptop computer. Just over 1000 ‘T’ shirts and hats were given out. To qualify for the draw delegates had to visit the Oxford Diffraction stand on Friday morning, wearing the ‘T’ shirt or baseball cap to receive a numbered ticket which would be entered into the draw to be held at 2pm that day. Bright orange, the ‘T’ shirts came in 6 different designs and slogans. The most popular and first to run out was the “On our wavelength? … Try Gemini” promoting Oxford Diffraction’s co-mounted molybdenum and copper wavelength Gemini product and featuring Bragg’s law. A number of delegates commented it would be perfect for brightening up crystallography lectures to their students and that they’d be wearing them for this use after the show. Dr Leigh Rees, Marketing Manager for Oxford Diffraction commented “Our exhibition stand has been overrun with delegates all week. The ‘T’ shirts have proven extremely popular and we’ve even had reports of people wearing them in Pisa.” One lecturer at the software fayre on Friday was faced with an audience packed with orange ‘T’ shirts and was prompted to ask “what’s going on with all these orange ‘T’ shirts?” In total four hundred and eighty tickets were entered into the prize draw with the winning tickets being drawn by Mike Dacombe, Executive Secretary of the IUCr. The third and fourth prizes consisted of a selection of Oxford Diffraction promotional items. The fourth prize winner was Philip Nakashima from Monash University, Australia, with the third prize being won by Ingrid Svoboda from Darmstadt University of Technology, Germany. The second prize was won by Sergei Stepanov from Argonne National Laboratory, USA, who was pleased to receive an iPOD shuffle MP3 player and a selection of Oxford Diffraction items. The star prize of a Samsung X20 laptop computer was won by John Gallagher of Dublin City University. John was unable to be at the draw but received his prize the next morning, saying “I’m very pleased to have won this prize, I don’t usually win anything. This comes at a very opportune moment as I was planning to buy a laptop for use at home. ” For further information, please contact: Dr. Leigh Rees
