Lewars ====================== REPLIES: #1 Dear prof. Lewars, There is a paper by C. L. Habraken - Journal of Science Education and Technology (1996), 5, 193 - 201. Title: "Perceptions of Chemistry: Why is the Common Perception of Chemistry, the Most Visual of Sciences, So Distorted?" Though it mainly deals with the importance of visualization in 'teaching' chemistry, the conceptual border to 'doing' chemistry is easily crossed.

Ranck (74) Re: CCL:VISUALIZATIONCommand: Read MessageMessage 7/7 from John P. Ranck Apr 15 '99 at 9:30 am Addison Wesley has published a book: Bowie, Jack E., ed., "Data Visualization in Molecular Science: Tools for Insight and Innovation," 1995. ISBN 0-201-58157-4. Some persons very active in this field include Richard Gillilan at the Cornell Theory Center http://www.tc.cornell.edu/~richard/ and Art Olson at Scripps Research Institute. I'm sure you will find many useful links from their web sites. Roy Tasker at the Univ. of Western Sydney has been running a chemical visualization project in Australia. He presented some very impressive chemistry visualizations at the Biennial Conference in Chemical Education at Bucknell University a couple of years ago You might also be interested in the MoleCVUE [Molecular Computation and Visualization in Undergraduate Education] Project, centered at Elizabethtown College, which is a collaboration of a dozen and a half undergraduate chemistry faculty from across the Eastern US to develop instructional materials using computation and visualization. -- John P.
