Training on the Oculus Quest at the #BioMolViz workshop. Thanks to the extraordinarily patient @Suffolk_U student who walked me through it. What an amazing way to visualize protein structure! – at Boston, MA

FINAL episode of Crash Course Organic Chemistry! 😭 If I were actually standing next to these wonderful folks, I couldn't possibly be this sad! Episode written by me and I had a little something to do with the 3D models too! @TheCrashCourse @thoughtcafe youtu.be/qygFjt2_LG4
