Teaching Experiments
In 2007 we hosted the School on Liquid Surface X-ray Scattering for 18 graduate students. We have participated in Argonne’s National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering during the summers of 2002-2007. We also hosted a pilot laboratory investigation for high school advanced-placement physics students from nearby Riverside-Brookfield High School in the spring of 2003. more ›
Workshops
We have hosted professional workshops on small molecule crystallography (ACA satellite workshop, 2004), small angle scattering (APS User Meeting, 2004) and liquid surface scattering (APS User Meeting, 2005). more ›
Staff Presentations
Individual staff members have been actively involved in events promoting scientific careers, synchrotron research, and student involvement in science. This includes more than twenty-five staff presentations to groups of students, as well as participation as judges and advisors in student competitions.
