-      Rational Discovery provides computational modeling, combinatorial
-      library design and custom software development services to the
-      pharmaceutical, biotech and chemical industries. We do a substantial
-      amount of internal research to develop new approaches for applying
-      machine-learning techniques to solve chemical problems. Because we're a
-      small organization and chemistry is a large and complex field, it is
-      essential that we be able to quickly and easily prototype and test new
-      algorithms.
-
-      <p>For our internal software, we implement core data structures in C
-      and expose them to Python using Boost.Python. Algorithm development is
-      done in Python and then translated to C if required (often it's not).
-      This hybrid development approach not only greatly increases our
-      productivity, but it also allows "non-developers" (people without C
-      experience) to take part in method development. Learning C is a
-      daunting task, but "Python fits your brain." (Thanks to Bruce Eckel for
-      the quote.)</p>
