Hello EXAFS enthusiasts, We are hosting the SSRL "not quite summer" summer school at the end of October this year (Oct 25-28). We wanted to include real experiments and deferred the school to the start of operations at SSRL. The event is virtual and all information (including registration details) can be found at: https://conf.slac.stanford.edu/exafs-2022/ We recognize that there are several really good online resources for learning about EXAFS and it has proved to be quite beneficial to the new and experienced learners alike. We have changed our summer school format to include additional teaching modules that can help participants learn aspects of EXAFS data analysis that are beyond what we have typically taught in the past. These new modules are especially helpful to the novice user and include: 1) Opportunity to write a 1 to 1.5 page proposal to compete for experimental time during the school. 2) A complete 1-day remote data measurement and hands-on demonstration of beamline optimization and experiment setup during the live session. 3) Insights into becoming a user at SSRL, proposal writing and its review process with examples of past successful proposals. Looking forward to seeing some of you at the school. Best Regards, Riti Sarangi
