We have extended the deadline for applications for a place at the RapiData 2022 @ SSRL workshop to next Friday, February 4th 2022! There are still a few spots left, so get your application in! The workshop will be held virtually from May 4 - 14 2022. The course will comprise lectures on the following topics: Specimen preparation, data collection strategies, X-ray light sources, X-ray detectors, data reduction, structure solution by MAD, SAD and molecular replacement, complementary methods (spectroscopy, small angle scattering and cryoEM). There will also be several days of software tutorials (HKL3000,XDS, CCP4/DIALS, Phenix, AutoSharp/AutoProc, Shelx, Coot) and you will all get to connect remotely to the SSRL beamlines to collect both monochromatic and MAD/SAD data. There is also an opportunity to ship your own samples to SSRL prior to the workshop, and collect your own data. Please visit https://www-ssrl.slac.stanford.edu/rapidata/rapidata-2022/index.html and use the links on the "registration" page to apply for the course. Successful applicants will be notified later in February 2022 and invited to register at that time (there will be no fee for registration).
