Celebrating Crystallography, The Royal Institution, 12foot6, STFC. NA Join us on an animated journey through the 100 year history of crystallography -- from the pioneering work of William and Lawrence Bragg in 1913 to the surface of Mars! Narrated by structural biologist Stephen Curry and produced by animation company 12foot6, the film explores the extraordinary history of crystallography. To date 28 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to projects related to the field and X-ray crystallography remains the foremost technique in determining the structures of a huge range of complex molecules. This film was produced in celebration of the Bragg Centenary and was funded by STFC. Watch more science videos on the amazing Ri Channel: http://richannel.org

Teaching with the case study method to promote active learning in a small molecule crystallography course for chemistry students, Michael G. Campbell, Tamara M. Powers, and Shao-Liang Zheng. J. Chem. Edu. (2016). 93, 270– 274 Implementing the case study method in a practical X-ray crystallography course designed for graduate or upper-level undergraduate chemistry students is described. Compared with a traditional lecture format, assigning small groups of students to examine literature case studies encourages more active engagement with the course material and stimulates improved class discussion. In particular, a judicious selection of case studies either from high-profile publications or from literature directly pertaining to students’ fields of research allows students to draw an immediate connection between the lecture material and their own academic/research interests.
