Academic Code

Trying to edit some simple 2,000 line python code that was hacked into existence by 3 biologists who don't know an object from a hummingbird is the definition of academic hell. Fortunately, it's only 2k lines, I can fix it all in a couple days. Also, if you guys ever find this blog, I love you guys.  Just please let me teach you some basic programming best practices. :)
