CHALK TALK

New Chalk Talk awards:
Every July we will award presenting students with the CBI Award in Scientific Communication from that year's Chalk Talk series (1 for Press Release, 1 for Chalk Talk). Students who have already presented Chalk Talk this year are encouraged to submit a "Press Release" by March 15 to be eligible for this award as well.

2009-2010 Recipients of the CBI Award in Scientific Communication
Congratulations to Fabian Romano Chernac (Heuck Lab) and Whitney Stoppel (Roberts Lab) for winning the Student Press Release Award, and to Mariel Feliciano (Chambers Lab) and Daniel Sayut (Sun Lab) for winning the Student Chalk Talk Award!

Chalk Talk Molecule:
Chalk Talk students should create a Molecular Playground module displaying a CBI molecule (the subject of your research) consisting of a single spinning molecular scene, with a banner (and possibly a color key) and a zooming entrance.
Please do the following before the workshop:
1. Choose your molecule (something that is part of your research project) and the pdb id of the structure you plan to use.
2. Get an account at Proteopedia (http://proteopedia.org). The account name must be your real full name, properly capitalized, with spaces. Please include in your description that you are a grad student at UMass in the CBI Program. Anyone who wants to try something more complicated after the workshop can do so on their own, following instructions provided by Eric Martz in Proteopedia.
See http://tm.chem.umass.edu/Dreyfus/MoleculeList.html for a list of some molecules currently on the Molecular Playground. Your molecule will be added to this list, so you'll also need to write a short paragraph about it, and you can write a bit more for a Proteopedia page (follow the links for examples).
