On the afternoon of Monday, September 26, 2022, Drs Tzanko Doukov and Blaine Mooers co-chaired a four-hour workshop Computational Methods in the Structural Sciences at the annual SSRL/LCLS Users meeting. It had eight speakers from three continents. The topics were quite diverse: micro-ED, cryo-EM, SAXS, radiation damage analysis, solvent channel analysis, and direct phasing. All of the talks were reviting. However, the last speaker really hit a home-run with some very exciting results about extending direct phasing methods. This talk was mentioned several times in other workshops and plenary sessions on the following days.
