Test the Simulator

Dr. Rosa developed Genesis to generate 3D structures programmed with chemistry logic (e.g., electrostatics, thermodynamics, geometry, and valence). This creates a responsive environment in which the simulator handles the chemical rules, and the user directs the action.

Rather than passively viewing an animation, learners and collaborators can manipulate conditions, test predictions, and investigate the cause-and-effect relationships of your mechanism in real time.

Test Genesis: Jump into a live, interactive simulation to manipulate conditions and explore our 3D mechanics firsthand.
Open Chemistry Library: Access our public repository of baseline, non-proprietary WebGL models for testing and exploring.

FAQs

How is this different from standard molecular modeling software (like PyMOL)?

Standard modeling software is incredibly powerful for rendering static structures or pre-calculated trajectories. However, it isn't built for interactive public sharing. Genesis is a live, game-engine environment.

By programming the chemical logic (e.g., electrostatics, valence) directly into the system, we allow your audience to manipulate variables and investigate cause-and-effect in real time, directly in their web browser without downloading any heavy software.

What does the Science with Impact team deliver?

We are a university-approved research support vendor that translates your computational chemistry into interactive 3D simulations. Rather than delivering a passive video, we provide:

A Custom Interactive Simulation: A web-based model of your specific mechanism where users can manipulate conditions and investigate cause-and-effect.
Zero-Friction Hosting: Permanent hosting of your interactive simulation on a dedicated, secure webpage.
Evidence-Ready Metrics: Impact analytics and tracked engagement data that you can drop directly into your grant reports.
Broad Outreach: A media spotlight feature on the Science with Impact Podcast.

Our ultimate goal is to give you mechanistic clarity—helping you secure funding and enhance presentations by allowing reviewers and students to explore your chemistry in real time.

How does pricing and procurement work for academic grants?

We strive to be 100% procurement-friendly and flexible for university grant structures.

Scope-Based Budgeting: We bill an hourly rate ($180/hr) under a Not-to-Exceed (NTE) cap that you set. A typical interactive mechanism requires ~40 hours, but you only pay for the exact time used.
Procurement-Friendly: We operate on auditable Net-30 invoices, billed every 6 weeks, and handle the vendor approval process for your department.
Limited Capacity: To ensure quality, we take on 1 project per month and are typically booked 2–6 months in advance (rush options available).
The Accuracy Guarantee: If the delivered interactive simulation does not meet our agreed-upon scientific accuracy and performance targets, we will refine it at no additional labor cost until it does.

How do we initiate a project?

We keep the PI lift minimal. To request a custom quote, just send us these three project details via our request form:

The Mechanism: What specific chemical process or key point do you need the viewer to understand?
The Audience: Who will be interacting with this? (e.g., NSF grant reviewers, students, a conference audience, the public).
The Outcome: What decision does this support? (e.g., proposal clarity, teaching module, broader impacts outreach).

Once submitted, we will reply with a recommended scope, an estimated hour range, and a timeline for your grant budget.

About Science with Impact

Science with Impact was founded by Vanessa Rosa, Ph.D., out of a direct need for better scientific communication. We aren't a general graphics agency; we are scientists, educators, and communicators who developed the Genesis engine to help our colleagues surface the mechanisms behind their work.

Since 2022, we have partnered with researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Johns Hopkins, Duke University, and the University of Florida to translate complex computational data into accessible, interactive formats.

We believe that scientific progress should inspire the public, and vice versa. Our mission is to support our colleagues in achieving, measuring, and defending their broader impacts. Whether we are building interactive 3D simulations to secure funding, modernizing university curricula, or tracking engagement metrics, we ensure your research is understood by the people who matter most.

Why interactive molecular models

Move from static visuals to evidence-backed, manipulable chemistry your audience can explore in the browser.

🧬

Surface molecular dynamics, step by step

Standard animation software creates inert 3D models. We build interactive simulations using computational chemistry, so your audience can clearly see the dynamic, step-by-step process of your specific molecular mechanism.

🔬

Investigate cause-and-effect relationships

Move beyond static diagrams and dead 3D viewers. Reviewers, students, and peers can manipulate conditions and observe exactly how your specific chemical systems respond in real time.

📊

Evidence-ready impact metrics

Strengthen your next proposal or paper and save writing time with a bespoke interactive web model: tracked viewer engagement, user feedback, and an impact slide ready to report.

🌐

Frictionless, web-based access

Unlike heavy molecular modeling software, your audience needs no training, coding, or downloads. You share a single, secure web link so funders or the public can open your interactive mechanism instantly.

📅

Delivered on your timeline

Built by scientists with deep science communication experience, our vendor-approved service translates your research into interactive models in a transparent 21-day sprint, scoped to your available grant allocation.
