Introductory Video on Structural Biology
Nov 16, 2009
Fred points us to an eighteen minute introductory video on structural biology, but unfortunately the English version is not uploaded onto a video hosting site (the French version is here for my friend Julie). I lack the rights to the video so can’t post the English version myself.
I would recommend this video to any relatives that glaze over when you describe your job or perhaps to new graduate students. Enjoy.

This video was made in my previous lab when I was a graduate student to explain crystallography at science festivals. It’s good the English version is finally available.
You can see me struggling with coot toward the end…

Hi luc and welcome!
Are you the gentleman spinning away or the person that enters the room? I assuming you are referring to the scene that is filmed in the dark room.
The filming is really good such as the change of angles as samples are moved across the screen.

Hy,
Yes that’s the scene, I’m the one spinning away in the dark. The one entering the room is the head crystallographer, and the movie was realized by his younger brother.
