From the Associate Director |
Just two months remain before the CHESS Users' Meeting and the excitement and evidence of CHESS growing is clearly evident in this edition of news. ( Check out the lineup of the biology and engineering workshops too!) Two familiar faces at CHESS have new responsibilities and titles, and give us articles to read below: Chris Conolly has become the "x-ray technical director" and presents the status of the CHESS-U beamline project; Katie Moring is now "head of x-ray operators" and writes about a trip she organized for our technical staff to visit and learn from NSLS-II.
Another fun happening was the Ithaca Physics Bus' visit to the March APS meeting in New Orleans - showcasing a few CHESS outreach and education programs and capturing lots of imaginations and connections to other science outreach experts! Last but not least, read some good user science, awards, and R&D. Hope to see you all at the Users' Meeting in June.
