People were like “I didn’t know paper could do that. That blew my mind.” People were really drawn in by the accessibility of the materials. - Dr. Ethan Danahy, Tufts University Research Assistant Professor in Computer Science, Observations from the 19th International Congress on Modeling and Simulation
