+  abstract: The atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of x-ray diffraction
+    data has been used to study the structure of liquids since its invention in the
+    1930's.  However, due to structural averaging, the amount of information we can
+    glean about the liquid structure can be quite limited.  Recently, improvements
+    in x-ray sources and in algorithms and software for data reduction and analysis
+    have helped us to obtain new information that wasn't accessible before.  In this
+    talk I will discuss recent PDF studies of structured liquids including molten
+    MOFs and extended molecular structures forming in organic-water mixtures.  These
+    have allowed us to directly test theories for the famous upper critical solution
+    temperature (UCST) phenomenon that were postulated also in the 1930's, but never
+    experimentally proved.  The liquid mixtures studied are amines with water and
+    the results have implications for water purification, mineral recovery from seawater
+    all the way to possible biological applications.
