[Chimera-users] Just starting out

[Hurt, Darrell (NIH/NIAID) [E]]

Hi Burt,

We offer some bioinformatics training, including some simple Chimera
tutorials. You can get a taste of our offerings on our YouTube site:
http://www.youtube.com/user/NIAIDBioinformatics

There are also a lot of resources on Coursera:

Hope it helps!
Darrell
