<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We invite you to encourage your students, postdocs, and senior associates to attend the 5<sup>th</sup> Winter School on Biomolecular Solid-State NMR, which will be held on January 7-12, 2018, in Stowe, Vermont.
Similar to the previous four highly successful Winter Schools, this pedagogical meeting is aimed at students and postdocs in solid-state NMR as well as more senior scientists in related fields who are interested in entering this vibrant field. Our goals are
to provide a focused week of teaching of the core concepts and practices in the increasingly multifaceted and complex field of biological solid-state NMR spectroscopy, and to encourage information sharing among different laboratories. Topics to be covered
in the 5<sup>th</sup> Winter School include:<u></u><u></u></span></p>
