The Ultrafast X-ray Summer Seminar (UXSS) 2014 took place from June 15 to 19 at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, California, United States. The program is organized specifically to train students and post-docs on new opportunities in ultrafast science, particularly using X-ray Free Electron Lasers. Almost all the lectures presented by expert scientists are now available as videos on YouTube. The lecture by Dr. Pieter Glatzel (ESRF) on "Hard X-ray Spectroscopy" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sMD8lZzuTE) is surely useful for young X-ray spectroscopists. Other exciting lectures are available from Dr. Oleg Shpyrko (UCSD) on "Coherent X-ray Scattering at Ultrafast Timescales" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIR_ltSOl2U), Dr. Michael Odelius (Stockholm University) on "Electronic Structure & Ultrafast Solution Dynamics in Xray vision w/ theoretical spectacles" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITIzAmYuyWA), Dr. Alexander Fohlisch (Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin) on "Soft X-ray General and Solid State Aspects" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTz1oCV5cWI), Dr. Philippe Wernet (Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin) on "Ultrafast Molecular Spectroscopy with X-rays: Experiment", and Prof. Claudio Pellegrini (UCLA) on "X-ray Free Electron Lasers" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v68nuOTwns).

Lecture Date: Tuesday May 27, 2014. Dr. Johanna Nelson Weker, SLAC, delivered the SLAC public lecture, "X-rays Reveal Secret Life of Batteries" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8lSTLRkKEk)
An interesting and useful tutorial on X-ray analytical methods for newcomers is now available in the Materials Today Podcast. Dr. Ravi Yellepeddi (Thermo Fisher Scientific) explains the principle of X-ray fluorescence, recent progress in instruments, and the variety of applications in industry and research laboratories. The talk is around 30 min. Visit the following Web site,

Lecture Date: Tuesday October 1, 2013. Jennifer Mass of the Winterthur Museum in Wilmington, Delaware, delivered the SLAC public lecture, "Don't Fade Away: Saving the Vivid Yellows of Matisse and Van Gogh." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiASAbniQYw)
Perhaps some readers already know Dr. Ken Lea's synchrotron song, but now it is available on YouTube. The song is about synchrotron radiation and many scientific studies, which have been done at The Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS), Daresbury Laboratory in UK, from 1980 to 2008. As so many scientific terms (such as wavelength, beamline, monochromator, polarization, collimation, surface acoustic wave, sample chamber etc) are included in the lyrics, it may not be easy for ordinary people to sing this song.
