Hi All, The annual SSR:/LCLS User Meeting is coming up Sept 20-24th. I am advertising a session on Thursday, Sept. 23rd, titled: "Enhancing X-ray Spectroscopy with ab initio and classical computational tools to understand environmental processes" Agenda: https://events.bizzabo.com/SLAC-UsersMeeting-2021/agenda/session/565625 In this workshop, we will examine how theoretical tools, such as DFT and MD, can be used to aid interpretation of XAS data and enhance understanding of chemical structure and reactivity in environmental systems (e.g., for biogeochemical and geochemical applications). The User Meeting will be held virtually this year and registration is free. You can find the registration link here: https://events.bizzabo.com/SLAC-UsersMeeting-2021/home We hope to see you there! Best, Sharon Bone, Ritimukta Sarangi and Jocelyn Richardson Sharon Bone, PhD Beamline Scientist Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (650) 926-3104
