The Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) featured our editorial on developing a macromolecular crystallography focused CURE, as part of a series with Black educators and structural scientists, highlighting educational materials that focus on retention of underrepresented groups in the sciences.

Check out our new paper published in Structural Dynamics on creating undergraduate labs centered on protein crystallography!

In 2019, I was interviewed by Gregory Mone as contributor for the new kids science book he was writing with Bill Nye! It was recently published, and was a NYT bestseller!  

Dr. McLaughlin included as a “Rising Star” on Cell Mentor’s “1,000 inspiring Black scientists in America” list!

The latest RCSB PDB Education Corner (January 2021) reports on the 2020 ACA Transactions Symposium on Structural Science: New Ways to Teach the Next Generation, which included an invited talk by Dr. McLaughlin.
