Bimolecular Dome
Visit this 3-D portable Dome, sponsored by the
Public Affairs Committee, to see how difficult
biophysical topics can be made accessible to the
general public. Short videos will present a range of
topics that will convey to students how research
visualization provides insights and medical op-
portunities as to the nature of pathogens and cells.
Overall, these videos communicate the excitement
of looking at macromolecular complexes and
understanding the molecular basis for life. The
Dome will be located in the Exhibit Hall and
open during the following hours:
Sunday–Tuesday: 10:00 am–5:00 pm
Wednesday: 9:00 am–1:00 pm
