-    ## Our Mission
-
-    We make scientists and engineering more productive
-    by teaching them basic computing skills.
-
-
-    ## The Problem
-
-    - Surveyed 1972 scientists in 2008.
-    - "How do you use computers?"
-    - "How did you learn what you know?"
-
-**Notes:**
-
-1.  We use [deck.js](http://imakewebthings.com/deck.js/) for our slides
-    as it is simpler and prettier than alternatives like
-    [reveal.js](http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js/).
