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'.
Ben Vasler reviews, and plays with, the Proteins building set and considers how it may be applicable for children at home and at school.
