Farewell to my partner in crime: Dr. Glen Smales.
My colleague and scientist extraordinaire, Dr. Glen Smales, has been key to the successful operation of the MOUSE lab for the last five years. During […]
Data Analysis Round Robin available on the ArXiv
While we wait for the referee reports to come in on the Data Analysis Round Robin paper submitted in January, I’ve put the preprint manuscript […]
three-year post-doc position available on (GI-)XS
Hey all, I’ve a three year post-doc position for grazing incidence X-ray scattering now open for applications! It’s for a H2020 project on developing antimicrobial […]
Removing tedium in data processing using Rundeck
By now, we have developed a quite extensive data processing pipeline whilst maintaining a high rate of samples on the MOUSE instrument. To stave off […]
Data Analysis Round Robin: Presentation video online, and paper submitted
How much does the researcher affect the analysis of small-angle scattering data? To find out, we sent four corrected, ready-for-analysis datasets to participants, and investigated […]
Same instrument, double the efficiency. Here’s how.
It’s been almost five full years since we started keeping detailed operational statistics on our X-ray scattering machine. It’s also been a little more than […]
Presentation – how to run a (lab) SAXS instrument efficiently
Just in case you haven’t subscribed to my YouTube channel; I uploaded a presentation of mine which I presented at the 2022 SNI conference in […]
Looking at something else: Robotics in the lab
So with our MOUSE instrument churning through an unprecedented number of samples, we’ve got to keep it well fed, preferably with consistent sample series. That’s […]
USAXS Updates
Over the last half year (damn 2022 goes fast!) I haven’t spent so much time on the USAXS project (see our last publication from 2021 […]
Skip! A way to ignore diffraction peaks in a McSAS3 fit
Over the years, we’ve had more than a few complex samples which showed diffraction peaks from regular structures intermixed in the small-angle scattering signal from […]
