A great start to some cool science. Highlights the unique possibilities of having two co-located lightsources (SSRL and the LCLS).
SLAC scientists shed light on nitroxide, a molecule with potential applications in the biomedical field. What they learned could lead to entirely new ways to use light to treat cardiovascular, microbial infections, cancer, and other health conditions. stanford.io/46JEVQs

Register for the SSRL/LCLS User Meeting and hear about the exciting user science happening at SLAC! I'll be hosting a plenary session discussing scientific synergy across SLAC facilities and a workshop highlighting X-ray spectroscopy at both X-ray sources. events.bizzabo.com/SLAC-User…
Not sure who was waiting with bated breath but I've recovered spectra.tools and the encryption issue has been resolved. A semi-smooth 11th hour conversion to Rancher 2 thanks to excellent support at @NERSC as usual. spectra.tools/
