CHESS Upcoming Workshops!

Workshops at CHESS are an ideal way to learn more about the techniques of CHESS. Each workshop is geared to strengthen users' knowledge about CHESS, while engaging each participant's needs in order to further the capabilities of CHESS.

Staff scientists working in the Center for High-Energy X-ray Sciences (CHEXS) at CHESS.

Synchrotron X-ray Science for Life Sciences, Agriculture, Sustainability Sciences and Technology Innovation at CALS

Discover how CHESS’s powerful X-ray techniques can advance research in life sciences, agriculture, and sustainability. This workshop explores metal dynamics in living systems and responses to environmental stimuli, introducing researchers to new synchrotron-based approaches for studying plants, microbes, and more. Ideal for those new to CHESS’s capabilities.

Thursday, May 8, 12:20pm to 5:30pm/ Physical Sciences Building (PSB) Room 401.
