  2. CSD Educators: Canadian Chemical Crystallography Workshop

    Yinka Olatunji-Ojo – Thu, 13 Jan 2022 21:45:00 GMT

    In this addition to our CSD Educators series, we hear from Dr Louise Dawe, an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Louise is a collaborator and champion of the CSD—helping to develop some of our classroom modules. Here, she outlines current examples of collaborative crystallography workshops and schools in the Americas that can help educators plan future structural science events. It is based on a lecture presented by the author at the 2020 IUCr Congress and General Assembly.

  3. CSD Educators: SciArt Workshop at Morley Academy

    Alexandru Moldovan – Wed, 24 Nov 2021 12:32:00 GMT

    What is your favourite part of science? Ask any researcher and they might answer you with some mind-bending theory or applications that advance humanity. Ask a high school student and they might say “cool experiments”. My favourite part of science is its artistic flare.

    In this article, I want to show you what happened when a class of photography students engaged in a cross disciplinary workshop combining science and art to look at crystals and light.

  6. Getting the most from your academic CSD licence

    Yinka Olatunji-Ojo – Mon, 07 Jun 2021 20:46:00 GMT

    Are you the campus CSD-Enterprise licence owner? Do you want to know more about how the CSD academic licence works? Then this overview of academic licencing and tools is for you. I’m a user support scientist. In this short blog and accompanying video, I walk through how to activate and use your CSD licence and how to assist individual users with their activations. In the second half, I cover training and support opportunities – including tutorials available within the tools and those available online – to help you advance your institution's structural science.

  8. CSD Educators: Alessia Bacchi from Università di Parma

    Ilaria Gimondi – Thu, 22 Apr 2021 13:41:00 GMT

    For this CSD Educators blog, I have the pleasure to introduce to you Prof. Alessia Bacchi, from the University of Parma in Italy. In this blog, Alessia will talk to us about her recent experience teaching "virtually" the use of Mercury and the CSD in high schools, with the goal to help students and teachers with the learning and teaching of three-dimensional concepts, such as the geometry of molecules.

  9. CSD Educators: Natalia Alvarez from Universidad de la República, Uruguay

    Ilaria Gimondi – Thu, 25 Mar 2021 12:45:00 GMT

    It is my pleasure to welcome Dr Natalia Alvarez as our guest for this CSD Educators blog. This is actually a welcome back, as Natalia was a guest editor for the CCDC in 2016, talking about the OpenLab in Uruguay. In this blog instead, Natalia will talk to us about her journey in crystallography, how she first met the CSD (spoiler: it was not love at first sight!), her contribution in regional crystallography schools with insights on how to teach the use of crystallographic databases, in particular the CSD.

  10. CSD Educators: Dean H. Johnston from Otterbein University

    Yinka Olatunji-Ojo – Thu, 11 Mar 2021 09:02:00 GMT

    It is my pleasure to welcome Professor Dean Johnston from Otterbein University for our next entry in the CSD Educator series. Dean is an avid user and champion of the CSD, from his experience as a graduate student growing crystals to integrating the CSD in his lectures in inorganic chemistry. Dean developed the Symmetry@Otterbein online resource to showcase structures with interesting symmetry; a resource that has since been included in the Database of Crystallographic Online Resources (DECOR). In 2016, scientists from the CCDC facilitated a workshop at Otterbein University where Dean had free access to his school’s 3D printer which provided an opportunity for every attendee to design and print out a 3D model.
