MelanieProtein Art We have recruited an expert structural biologist to our project! Martina Maritan, Ph.D. is a structural biologist, which means she studied the shape of proteins, and in particular, she used X-Rays the same way Rosalind Franklin did. Now she is a postdoc in the Molecular Graphics Lab,

MelanieI’m designing a game about digestion. I have a pad of paper with details like how much glucose is in a gummi bear, how fast the glucose gets absorbed into the blood stream, where the player can place glucose receptors and how much they should cost… But I also have a pad of paper with blogging topics,

MelanieOur goal: Get the average 12 through 50 year old to play with molecular cell biology and biochemistry.
Plan: Create a commercially successful game that requires the player to use proteins for their correct functions in order to win.
Problem: What is molecular cell biology and biochemistry?

MelanieI’ve been silent for a while. Sharing your thoughts is difficult when they are 20%plan and 80%doubts. But I have been working hard, playing, designing, reading research, and then trying to imagine a game out of it, considering what would be accurate, fun and possible given what we have programmed/drawn already and building a team who believes in the plan.
