Macs and science - Version: 0.40, 5/25/2007 12:55PM PST

I can't believe how much sophisticated, specialized science software is out there for Macs, for free. It's totally mind-blowing.

But then, I've noticed that there seem to be a disproportionate number of Mac users among scientists in general. Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins are well-known examples, and you see a lot of Macs in field research.

Maybe it's a reflection of the fact that scientists "Think Different" in general, but hey, we'll take it any way we can get it..........

Works great on my Xeon Mac Pro workstation under Mac OS X 1.4.9.

I tried to launch iMol, its icon appeared in the dock then disappeared right after. I am on Tiger 10.4.5. Is it the reason?
