At the end of 2004, an open house was held at the RCSB-Rutgers site. The December 9th event included the opening of the Molecular Art Mural that is described in this quarter's Education Corner. Demonstrations of annotation, the beta site, educational resources, and structural genomics databases were offered to students, teachers, and members of the local community. In 2005, the RCSB plans to have an exhibit stand at the meetings listed below.
