Choose a molecule that is part of your research project. If someone in your group has already made a page for your research molecule, you can improve on that previous entry. You must leave the previously created page intact and make a copy that you improve and mark as new.  Later we will retain the new one with a merged author list.

2. Get started working in Proteopedia by using the links at [[Help:Contents]]. Make yourself a sandbox page: Enter "User:Your Name/Sandbox 1" (omit quotes) in the search box, then follow instructions to edit this page. Practice entering text, inserting a structure window with scrolling text (green 4-square button on the right), and creating a green scene. You can look at other Proteopedia pages in edit mode to see how different effects (like colored text) are achieved (but this won't show you how the scene effects are made).

3. Get together with the other Chalk Talk students in your research group (see list below) and decide which molecule you will improve or create. Develop ideas for the scenes you wish to show. You will work on these during the workshop with our help, and then finish them on your own.

You are encouraged to collaborate on this year's CBI Molecules, but everyone will need to do some editing of the molecule so that they each appear as authors on the final list. If you are the sole student from your group enrolled in Chalk Talk and have not previously made a CBI Molecule, try to convince another group member who has previously made a CBI Molecule (see  list above) to join us for the workshop so that you can work together.

A successful CBI Molecule will be an interesting, nontechnical description of the molecule. It should not be super long, but instead have multiple green scenes
A successful CBI Molecule will be an interesting, nontechnical description of a molecule related to your group's research. It should not be super long, but instead have multiple green scenes. Green scenes should clearly show an interesting feature and should be attractive. Use the green scenes to help you make interesting points about the molecule (do not try to describe every feature of the molecule). It's great if you can end with a brief statement about how it relates to your group's research goals.
 
4. Add a link to your sandbox page at [[Sandbox_CBI]] (CBI Molecules in Progress).
 
5. Create an attractive scene for your molecule: use the scene authoring tools in the edit mode to create the view you like, then copy the wiki text into your window.
 
6. Choose a "green scene" on your Proteopedia page to suggest for display at the Molecular Playground and specify a "banner" which will be projected with the molecule. This should be a short, one-line headline for your scene that includes the name of the molecule and what is important about the scene or the molecule. Remember to design this for the general public, including non-scientists. My example is: "Molecular Playground banner: A bacterial chemotaxis receptor protein used by bacteria to "smell" their environment."
 
7. When you are happy with your sandbox page, make yourself a permanent Proteopedia page, which will be editable by others. Enter "Molecular Playground/your molecule" (omit quotes) in the search box, then follow the instructions to create a new page with this title. Copy the content of your sandbox to this new page.


8. When you have finished the final version of your page and scene, edit this CBI Molecules page to add a listing and link for your molecule, following the  examples above, and be sure to mark it as NEW FALL 2011. If you are improving a previously created page, leave the old one intact and make a copy that you improve and mark as new.  Later we will retain the new one with a merged author list. When multiple authors contribute to a Molecular Playground page, please indicate your scene with your initials. Please link the lab names to web pages too.
4. Your final pages should be called "Molecular Playground/your molecule" and should have links on this CBI Molecule page -- put the new ones first on the list from your research group. Label them "in progress" until you are finished.
