This is a completely interactive Power Point Presentation. In it, you will find a virtual microscope where you can turn it on and advance slides. Feel free to add your own microscopy images.The link to a Jmol hemoglobin molecule is intact and very useful and completely interactive. Just move it around with your mouse in 3D. The peripheral smear technique using Wrights stain is interactive!

In this poster (20" x 20"), I broke down the individual domains in this viral protein we've all heard about and the new variants. There is an actual reconstruction of the S gene mRNA and a 3D image of the variant receptor sites. The orange square has both the nucleotide sequence aligned with the translated amino acid sequence above the codon showing how a single base substitution gave rise to an entirely different amino acid! Great for students trying to make sense of the pandemic!

This document use useful for both classrooms and as an interactive document hyperlinked to self-exam resources. An extensive set of references is added at the end.
