From Tim's Mind to Yours!
Learn how to teach with models from an educator who created and honed modeling practices throughout the years! Join Tim Herman, PhD, in Milwaukee for Modeling the Molecular World this summer. With a significant focus on enzymes and proteins, membranes, and DNA, Tim will take you through these science concepts and how to use 3D Molecular Designs kits and models in your classroom. Model through science concepts with Tim and learn how to use 3D Molecular Designs kits and models in your classroom!
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
3D Molecular Designs was founded to make modeling a practice that teachers everywhere can bring into their classrooms. So, we appreciate all educators who share our passion for classroom modeling. We're excited to develop new and exciting ways to take modeling into the future with YOU! Please help us make these new developments a reality by applying to our 3DMD AR Field Test and learn how you can become a 3DMD Model Teacher. We'd love to collaborate with you and make modeling the best possible!
Science Spotlight
Har Gobind Khorana, PhD, was born in India in 1922 and is known for his research on the genetic code. After growing up in India, he moved to England in 1945 and earned his PhD in 1948. He eventually became the co-director of UW-Madison's Institute for Enzyme Research in 1960 after working at the University of British Columbia for eight years. It was here that he discovered the order of nucleotides in nucleic acids. This research has helped us better understand protein synthesis and won him a Nobel Prize in 1968. While he passed away in 2011, the Khorana Program for Scholars, named in his honor, facilitates Indian students conducting research in the U.S. to promote science and technological advancements between India and the U.S.
