Science Olympiad 2014-2015 Events

[Gearbox]

Anyone know how to build the protein prebuild for protein modeling?

Districts that have strong B-to-C connections are always going to have some form of an advantage- there's not much you can do about that. Also, C events typically do move back to B, because it's preferable to B events moving up to C (and the students that did them moving up with them)

Yep. You could say that for many of the events that are "unfair" - like the ID events, which are usually paired together anyways. At the least they do try to keep the mechanicals different.

OH BOY SOMEONE ASKED A PROTEIN QUESTION

Well, first of all, there are threads here and here that have lots of great information. Also, the Center for Biomolecular Modeling, who sponsored the event before and probably will again, have information on their site about getting familiarized with modeling, and other pertinent info: http://cbm.msoe.edu/scienceOlympiad/index.php

Good luck! I found Protein Modeling a really interesting event to do, even though I was usually more of an earth science/physics guy.

Thank you so much, I find this info very helpful and cannot wait to get started with it next year. Btw, I think I saw u yesterday, Solar Systems?

Yep, Solar System! I was only grading, but from what I saw it seemed to be a pretty good test. Got a nice range of scores too! You guys did pretty well, so good luck at nationals, and maybe you can bring home a medal!

Thanks but we had no idea what we were doing, we read the rules like a week before.

Its true...

[EastStroudsburg13]

Well... I guess now you have a little more time to study?

Can't give the source, but let's just say there are certain upsides to being a tournament director.

Next year's events (projected, but rarely do things change after this version) as of March 2014 are:
REDACTED

Basically, the guesses before are correct.

SO HAPPY to see Protein Modeling and Trajectory back on the list!!! (Blast back to the 2009-2010 season for me, that is)

is this accurate?
also, what is the green generation?

[chinesesushi]

Probably, given that last year's preliminary events looked to be in the same format.
Google it.
