On my first day at the Royal Society of Chemistry I was surprised to see a box of toys sitting on the Chemistry World editor's desk. Gifts for children? Executive stress relief? Maybe I've joined one of those funky dotcom-style offices where people just play with toys for 'inspiration'?
The truth, I soon discovered, is a bit of all three - the main toy in the box was the Proteins building set, which describes itself as 'the most accurate protein building set' with which you can 'build and learn about proteins'.
