DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Louisa Smieska\, Olena K Vatamaniuk\, Ju-Chen Chia\n
 \nThis workshop brings together researchers from across disciplines to hel
 p shape the future scientific direction of the XLEAP beamline at CHESS.\nX
 LEAP (X-rays for Life\, Environment\, Agriculture\, and Plants) is a next-
 generation beamline currently under construction at CHESS\, with user ope
 rations anticipated in 2028. This workshop will help define the science\, 
 build the community\, and identify the opportunities that XLEAP will enabl
 e.\nParticipants will explore how advanced X-ray techniques can unlock new
  insights into complex biological\, environmental\, and agricultural syste
 ms - while helping guide the development of this new national resource.\nR
 egistration and abstract submission for full consideration is closed.\nIn 
 person and virtual options:\nIn the spirit of building community\, we hope
  that as many participants as possible will be able to attend in person. H
 owever\, understanding that this may not be feasible for all\, a remote vi
 ewing option is also available during registration.\nCONFIRMED SESSION CHA
