From the Director
The theme of the 2017 CHESS Users' Meeting is "CHESS-U: Emerging Science Frontiers." The main user meeting is on Tuesday, June 6th and will highlight recent science and technology development done at CHESS, the science case developed last summer, a review of progress on the CHESS-U upgrade project, and detailed discussions of the future directions of the laboratory.

On June 7th, we'll hold workshops focused on:
  • Emerging Frontiers in Biology using Synchrotron Radiation
    • Advances in Serial Synchrotron Crystallography
    • Chemical and Structural Imaging in Biology
  • Emerging Frontiers in Engineering using Synchrotron Radiation
    • Measuring and Modeling Damage Evolution
    • Quantifying Stress using X-ray diffraction under Multiaxial Loading Conditions
In addition to these technical workshops, CHESS will host a workshop for the INCREASE consortium with the goal of promoting the usage of National Facilities by researchers from Minority Serving Institutions.

I encourage everyone who can, to attend in person. For those who cannot make the trip to Ithaca, we will once again be providing web based access.
