Workshop 1—APS Life Science Future Directions
May 8, 2013 (all day)
Bldg. 402, Rm. Auditorium
Organizers: Keith Moffat (U. of Chicago), Robert Fischetti (Argonne National Laboratory),
Keith Brister (Northwestern U.), and B.C. Wang (University of Georgia)
OVERVIEW
The APS life sciences community has a unique opportunity to leverage the advances planned by the APS-U to push forward on the next generation of life sciences experiments. This workshop will gather the community together to flesh out our plans for the next 5 to 10 years. The will enable us to present a coherent, APS-wide plan for beamline upgrades that will drive new science. The workshop will review the work we've accomplished so far as part of the original APS-U planning process, look at opportunities that have arisen since, and lay out a plan to achieve our goals.
