The 22nd National School on Neutron & X-ray Scattering 2020 – Upsides of going virtual

, , , & ORCID Icon
 

Abstract

The National School on Neutron and X-ray Scattering (NXS) has become a yearly ‘institution’ for North American graduate students interested in neutron and X-ray scattering. Like other schools and conferences this year, it was forced to go virtual, which presented many challenges but also opened new opportunities.

Acknowledgements

The organizers want to thank all the lecturers for their engagement and excellent presentations. The organizers also want to acknowledge the great support from the people in the facilities. In total, more than 100 staff members were involved in organizing the school, shooting videos, giving lectures and participating in the interaction rooms.

Funding

The NXS is supported by the US Department of Energy, Office of Science, Basic Energy Sciences, Materials Sciences and Engineering Division and utilized resources of the Advanced Photon Source, a US Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility operated for the DOE Office of Science by Argonne National Laboratory under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357. M.F. and B.H. were supported by resources at the High Flux Isotope Reactor and the Spallation Neutron Source, a DOE Office of Science User Facility operated by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. M.E.M. and S.R. were supported by the US Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Materials Sciences and Engineering Division under contract numbers DE-AC05-00OR22725 and DE-AC02-06CH11357, respectively.
