Data derived from the interactions between the X rays and the viral atomic structure were then fed into Purdue's Cyber 205 supercomputer, which enabled the researchers to produce a detailed three-dimensional picture of the virus. In fact, the supercomputer was the hero of the project. "The final set of calculations were made in a month," says Michael Rossmann, who headed...

I would then startle my rapt audience by revealing that sex is nothing to be ashamed of, and in fact may even be a natural part of life.
