[ccp4bb] Feeling molecular?

[Curry, Stephen]

In case it’s of interest (for pub discussions of structural biology, explaining 
yourself to your parents, or perhaps teaching…), I thought I’d point people to 
a couple of pieces on the Guardian Science blog this week about the problem of 
seeing yourself as a molecular entity: 

This is my take on things:

And this is the inestimable Drew Berry explaining how he goes about creating 
his wonderful molecular animations:

[ccp4bb] Films on crystallisation and crystallography

[Curry, Stephen]

You folks know all this stuff but these short film made by the Royal 
Institution may be useful for teaching/outreach. 

The first presented by Elspeth Garman, focuses on crystallisation:

The second (with me in front of the camera), goes through data collection and 
analysis at Diamond:

[ccp4bb] Royal Institution Lecture

[Curry, Stephen]

I hesitated to post this because crystallography is meat and drink to people 
around here, but in case it might be useful for teaching, here is the video of 
a lecture I gave on X-ray crystallography at the Royal Institution on Friday 
25th October. Warning: it lasts a full hour!
