MacVicar was an outstanding educator and scientist who founded MIT's famous Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) and went on to serve as MIT's first Dean for Undergraduate Education until her untimely death in 1991 at the age of 47. She was nationally recognized for her leadership in shaping policies both for undergraduate education and for science education in public schools. The MacVicar Faculty Fellowship program was established in her memory and has become one of MIT’s highest teaching honors. This video was created on the 10-year anniversary of her death to remember Professor MacVicar and her many contributions at MIT. 318 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/186693040 2009-11-06 12:34:16 -0500 MIT Video Productions Since 1969, MIT's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) has been inviting undergraduates to participate in research as junior colleagues of faculty. Today, eighty-five per cent of undergraduates participate, and UROP research takes place in all MIT disciplines. In UROP: Celebrating Discovery, faculty, staff, and students shed light on how UROP greatly enhances MIT education, and why it has long been regarded MIT's "flagship" academic program. 423 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/186565660 2008-01-30 13:07:02 -0500 MIT Museum In the cytoplasm of the cell the ribosome acts like a workbench for the translation of the DNA code. The tRNA molecules bind to the mRNA strand if their 3 letter codes match. The tRNA molecules arrive towing amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. The amino acids join to form a protein chain and in the last step, the protein folds into its final shape. <p>Here you see that the protein folds up into a short helix. Next, four of these folded proteins can create a channel protein in the cell membrane (yellow circles). These four protein chains have hydrophobic amino acids (yellow) around the outside edges. The hydrophobic amino acids orient the proteins towards the lipid molecules in the membrane. The pore or channel in the center (darkest area) allows ions to enter the cell. </p><p>Find out more on the <a href="http://www.sciencebuilders.com/legoanimations.html" target="_blank">Science Builders</a> website.</p><p>This activity is a facilitated school program for high school students at the MIT Museum. </p> 243 tag:techtv.mit.edu,:Array/186446020 2008-01-29 17:48:21 -0500 MIT Museum <p>Transcription of DNA.

The bright orange subunits are the mRNA nucleotides. In transcription, the single stranded messenger RNA (a copy of the DNA gene) is produced by the base paring rule.
