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.
