  • Summary

  • We learn all about Crystallography in this week’s episode with Suzanna Ward, Head of Data and Community at The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) – a non-profit organisation whose mission is to advance chemistry and crystallography for the public benefit.


    CCDC was created by Dr Olga Kennard OBE FRS and J D Bernal who believed the collective use of data would be beneficial and wanted to collect data and making it accessible, transform the data into knowledge banks, and generate new insights.


    We learn about the structural database and how researchers use it, and how their work now fosters innovation globally.


    It’s also a great story of how tech advancement has changed the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) over the years, and their support of the next generation of scientists.


    And we think this is the first episode where knitting needles have been referenced.
