Workshop 7: Visualizing Structure

Date/Time: Friday, July 29, 2022 @ 8:00 AM PT
Location: ROOM TBA

Portland Marriott Downtown, Portland, Oregon
Organizational Contact: Nichole Valdez

 

Description

Chemical structure, whether it be molecular or crystallographic, is an inherently three-dimensional property that is most often displayed on two-dimensional surfaces, such as printed images or computer screens. These surfaces can limit the way we interact with, teach, and study chemical structure. This workshop presents the latest hardware and software for bringing structure to life, and is aimed at crystallographers of all disciplines. The full-day workshop will start in the morning with short presentations about the featured software and will open up after lunchtime for hands-on demonstrations with small groups.
