Dear Colleagues, A quick note to alert researchers to the status of the Advanced Light Source in Berkeley (https://als.lbl.gov): The ALS is now operating in a limited capacity supporting COVID-19 related research. A number of MX beamlines from the ALS-ENABLE program are now taking proposals from the general user community working on COVID-19 via the ALS RAPIDD program (https://als.lbl.gov/rapidd/); choose ALS-ENABLE as the beamline and your proposal will receive prompt review with fast turnaround for beamtime. We are evaluating the possibility of expanding access to include to other techniques such as soft X-ray tomography, and BioSAXS in the near future. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
