I am looking to fill a position in our team at the macromolecular femtosecond crystallography instrument (MFX) at the LCLS XFEL. The role would be focused on instrument development and supporting the MFX user program. Job ID: 5942 careers.slac.stanford.edu

@SLAClab is having a workshop on Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS). It will cover many other X-ray spectroscopies and hands-on analysis tutorials. Free to attend! events.slac.stanford.edu/rixs-2024

A great start to some cool science. Highlights the unique possibilities of having two co-located lightsources (SSRL and the LCLS).

From this week's covers: "Unraveling Metal–Ligand Bonding in an HNO-Evolving {FeNO}6 Complex with a Combined X-ray Spectroscopic Approach". Read the full article here ➡️ go.acs.org/6jF

Our new study using multifaceted synchrotron spectroscopies to target the static electronic/geometric structure of an HNO photoevolving Fe-NO complex. Colocation of two lightsources at @SLAClab doesn't just mean sharing instruments but sharing expertise. LCLS & @SSRLnews team.

Staying on the topic of non-heme Fe, new manuscript out now in @angew_chem. An Fe(IV) S=1 intermediate in an enzyme. Led by @MossbauerLab onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

Out in @J_A_C_S! Studying the electronic structures of trigonal non-heme Fe(IV)=O systems. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

New user study officially out in JACS using ultrafast XANES and XES to monitor cobalamin photodynamics. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Out now in Nature! Great user-work studying the final step of Photosystem II. Took quite a village with measurements at the LCLS and SACLA. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Synchrotron-based Ni-61 Mössbauer is still thriving! New work out in @J_A_C_S using Ni-61 SR-MB to develop structural insights into a Ni CO2 reducing catalyst. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Looking to hire a postdoc for a 2-year (funded) project I'm guiding at the LCLS @SLAClab. Background in inorganic chemistry with a motivation to learn X-ray spectroscopy and photochemistry of bioinorganic systems would be ideal. #chemjobs careers.slac.stanford.edu Job ID: 5166

@GiorgioCaserta8 Thanks Giorgio!

@lbgee1 Not sure preprint are useful. Here a link to our last work on NiFe hydrogenase using your great spectra.tool doi.org/10.26434/chemr…

If anyone has any refereed publications in the last year utilizing spectra.tools please let me know! It is time for my annual renewal proposal of the computational resources... Pubs already accounted for are on this list: spectra.tools/bin/controller…

We are hiring at the LCLS XFEL in the Biological Sciences research division @SLAClab. Research Associate (NIH funded R&D for serial femtosecond crystallography) Job ID: 5120 Associate Staff Scientist (Operations at the MFX experiment hutch) Job ID: 5121 careers.slac.stanford.edu

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-UsersMeet…

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

Congratulations to the ~75 scientific groups and hundreds of researchers from across the US and around the world awarded access to our #LCLS facility @SLAClab! An incredible array ranging from RNA studies to additive manufacturing & magma oceans. lcls.slac.stanford.edu/sites/default/…

Our work out in IC. Part 2/3 of the "new old mutants" nitrogenase series. Finally a study with my friends @SimonScientific and @GalactaPug together.

Please consider attending the Ultrafast X-ray Summer School (UXSS) held at @SLAClab on June 20-23. There will be great talks and a data analysis workshop. Registration is $25 and open until June 1. web.stanford.edu/group/pulse_in…
