Latest Happenings at GSECARS
402 Lower Gallery refreshments and celebration
Monday, April 17 is a major milestone in the history of the APS. After 28 years of collaboration with the global science community on groundbreaking and impactful research, we are closing our X-ray beamlines and bidding a temporary farewell to our external users. When we welcome those scientific colleagues back in 2024, it will be to a brand-new APS, with new capabilities to explore.
Science Careers in Search of Women Program
GSECARS was pleased to host the young women who participated in the Science Careers in Search of Women Program.
