Study, learn, practice and go the extra mile to understand well the subject you seek. Don’t let a day go by without doing at least a little bit of it each day. Exams and grades are fleeting, but your acquired knowledge and skill sets are for a lifetime–and that is what will make the difference.

Education outreach
We are presently working on an online X-ray crystallography course coupled with skill-building workshops for high school, undergraduate and graduate students into a STEM pipeline. The aim is to provide accessibility to students at wide variety of levels through the flexible online course portion, yet it also provides structured hands-on workshops, leading to a sustainable collaborative graduate or certificate program that will provide a strong basis for future crystallography practitioners and STEM competency.
