The 2015 RapiData Course on Data Collection and Structure Solution will take
place at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) from May 3-8
2015. The aim of the course is to educate and train scientists in data
collection and processing methods at synchrotron beamlines, using
state-of-the-art software and instrumentation. The course will comprise
hands-on experiments at the SSRL beamlines, software tutorials, and lectures on
sample preparation, data collection and reduction, phasing and complementary
methods. For a more complete description of the course goals and format see
