Rigaku Symposium on X-ray Diffraction
The Rigaku Symposium on X-ray Diffraction is an annual event hosted at Yale University that is free to the public. The symposium features interactive workshops with tutorials on X-ray characterization for macromolecular, small molecule and materials projects. We also invite keynote speakers who are leaders in the field of X-ray analysis and scientific research. The event concludes with a poster session, which highlights graduate and postdoctoral projects that use X-ray diffraction and scattering.
