利用高通量结晶筛选技术和数据分析，制定了一个教育计划，通过结晶和进入杂货店、邮局和互联网来教授科学方法。晶体学是一个多学科领域，它将数学、科学和工程的不同领域联系起来，提供原子尺度上的生命知识。晶体生长是该领域的关键组成部分，是教育的理想载体。结晶已与“杂货店化学”方法一起使用，并与高通量远程访问筛选技术相关联。这种方法提供了一种教育机会，可以有效地教授科学方法，很容易适应不同层次的教育经验，并且可以接触到任何可以访问杂货店，邮局和互联网的学生。本文通过帮助开发和原型程序的学生描述了程序的形成。总结了分析和初步结果，并描述了该程序如何与晶体学的其他方面联系起来。这种方法有可能弥合偏远地区和资金有限的学生与获得科学资源之间的差距，为学生提供国际水平的研究经验。
Using high-throughput crystallization screening technologies and data analysis, an educational program has been developed to teach the scientific method through crystallization and access to a grocery store, a post office and the internet. Crystallography is a multidisciplinary field that links divergent areas of mathematics, science and engineering to provide knowledge of life on an atomic scale. Crystal growth, a key component of the field, is an ideal vehicle for education. Crystallization has been used with a ‘grocery store chemistry’ approach and linked to high-throughput remote-access screening technologies. This approach provides an educational opportunity that can effectively teach the scientific method, readily accommodate different levels of educational experience, and reach any student with access to a grocery store, a post office and the internet. This paper describes the formation of the program through the students who helped develop and prototype the procedures. A summary is presented of the analysis and preliminary results and a description given of how the program could be linked with other aspects of crystallography. This approach has the potential to bridge the gap between students in remote locations and with limited funding, and access to scientific resources, providing students with an international-level research experience.
