Fab #lightsourceselfiesday2024 @XtalGrrl Thanks for sharing and highlighting the importance of relaxation time after busy beamtime sessions! We are thinking of making it a week long event next year to accommodate time zones, public holidays etc😉
I guess I missed #lightsourceselfies yesterday? Dang. Anyways, here's me and two colleagues after we finished up at @esrfsynchrotron and visited the snowy peaks nearby. Learn about your local light source at lightsources.org

Wow @Sci_Hans! This is a fasinating photo of you doing super cool science! Thanks so much for sharing and being part of #LightSourceSelfiesDay2024
Here's my #LightSourceSelfie @DiamondLightSou! I'm in the dark room to add a caged molecule to my enzyme crystals. We then shoot them with a laser to release the molecule. By getting the structure with X-rays 10 ms or 1 s later, we can see what the enzyme does with it!
