Event Description: 

Diamonds, snowflakes, and even proteins… Did you know that you can use lasers to look inside crystals? This is called X-ray crystallography, and it uses physics to study a variety of biological problems related to biochemistry, medicine, and pharmacology. Join us at CrystalCon to learn more about X-ray Crystallography! Play with lasers, crystals, 3D glasses, and more at our lecture and hands-on investigation tables. Then, learn about exciting career opportunities in X-ray crystallography during our Career Panel Discussion.
Bring the whole family! All ages are welcome. Hosted by Yale ManyMentors. Register here.
