Vincent Tolbert, Physics and Physical Science Teacher, Frederick Douglass High School, Atlanta, GA Participants will learn how to use Rasmol, an interactive molecular graphics program, to visualize proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules. Rasmol can be used to display, teach and generate quality research images. With this program students can see the new wave of computer-based scientific research and can manipulate and construct proteins and molecules three dimensionally. We recruit Emory faculty and students to conduct talks and seminars on current trends and developments in the scientific arena. Speakers help to bring their real-life experiences to enliven the classroom atmosphere and to stimulate discussion and debate.
Speakers are positive role models who introduce students to various health and science careers.
