75	75	Elaine: what about Africa? Meghan: Phil did a workshop with students who were very enthusiastic. It went quite well, would have liked one more day there. Phil: we spent time making and manipulating structures in ChimeraX, ending up with them viewing the structures in VR. It was hard to get them to stop, and more students than headsets. US ambassador to Uganda was also there, and Christian Hapi who wants to build a VR lab and may have been more excited than even the kids. Ugandan embassy press release: https://ug.usembassy.gov/african-centers-of-excellence-in-bioinformatics-and-data-intensive-science-2022-annual-consortium-meeting-student-showcase-september-13-2022/ Darrell: we've really been using ChimeraX a lot there, and it was surprising that the ambassador stayed 2 1/2 hours! Darrell: one reason for this outreach is to promote infectious disease research worldwide rather than trying to fight diseases only from home.
