Molecular Dynamics was the topic of Arjan's lecture this morning. The simulations compliment the traditional experimentation. Certain types of data cannot be measured by experiments:
- Very high spatial and time resolution data
- certain energies, correlation functions, etc.
- decomposition of energies
Simulations are expensive, but safer. They are used to guide experiments and give insight to potential behaviors.

Hi Wendy
I'm glad you're so fascinated by the work BP does. I am also glad that Dr. Thorpe went through the mathematical models that popsickle sticks illuminated. I'd like to see that. I'll talk to you later.
