Education Corner: Empowering Educators

08/29 

Sign up to receive electronic updates each quarter.

In the Summer 2023 Newsletter, The Schrödinger Education team recently hosted a virtual event called Educator’s Week which brought together K-12 and university educators to discuss educational technology, such as molecular modeling, in chemistry and biology classrooms. Learn about how they describe Empowering Educators with Research-Grade Computational Tools.

Other articles in this issue focus on Explore Bioenergy; Upload Structure Files to Search; Preparing PDB Depositions; and more.

Published quarterly, each Education Corner describes of how community members use the PDB and related resources.
Contact info@rcsb.org to contribute.
