LBNL DIALS/Serial Crystallography Workshop

I attended the LBNL DIALS/Serial Crystallography workshop. I gave a talk on robust background modelling in the presence of outliers in DIALS and assisted with a short demo of the dials.stills_process program. I also ate far too many Burritos.

CCP4 / SPring-8 Structure Solution Workshop

I attended the CCP4 / SPring-8 structure solution workshop where I delivered a talk about data processing with DIALS, gave a tutorial and helped students process their data. However, I believe my most important contribution was to build a massive snowman.
