A biology class at the Governor's School in Innovation Park outside Manassas has been using molecular modeling software to teach its students about the chemical structures of medicines and other pharmaceuticals.
The Governor's School is a collaborative STEM initiative between Manassas, Manassas Park, and Prince William County public school systems.
