EDUCATOR

Promoting visual literacy in bio-molecular sciences education

Bucharest, Romania and online; 24 September 2024.

This is a hybrid train-the-trainer event to help trainees understand structural data better and integrate structures in their lectures/presentations as  images, animations, or physical models. The event is organized by the Romanian Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (RSBMB) as a satellite event of the Annual International Conference of the RSBMB 2024.

Details of the session are available on the event website. Registration closes on September 9, 2024. In-person participation is highly recommended, especially for the two hands-on workshops.
