We had a chance for an informal chat with Dr Thierry d’Almeida at the end of one of the numerous meetings of the LAAAMP Executive Committee, when Thierry was invited to discuss the strategies and plan future activities for the development of crystallography and synchrotron-related disciplines in Benin and neighbouring countries. Thierry, who is originally from Benin and works at the CEA (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique et aux Energies Alternatives, France), was introduced to the LAAAMP Executive Committee by Herman Winick.
