8/1-8/8
Donny I helped plan the structure of our data models with Palak with a design in mind for the algorithm to utilize the stoichiometry of the reactions. In addition, we decided to regard additional reactants as well as biproducts in separate weighted fields for even more interactivity.

This week I found that the way I had set up the database still wasn't good enough because we could not access the stoichiometric information the way we would like. I rearranged our models again and I'm hoping it works this time!!

This week, I was able to make some progress on the look and feel of our website that will host our webtool, IMPtools. My knowledge of HTML and CSS is very limited, so therefore I relied on a CSS template from the internet that I modified for our purposes. This exercise has been a nice lesson in CSS and how it works in conjunction with HTML. By the end of the week, I was able to get something that could very well become what our website will look like. There are sill some tweaks I need to make, but otherwise the scaffolding of the website is complete.
