			    <h3>The Zen of Isca</h3>
			    <ul style="list-style-type:disc">
			    <li>The purpose of Isca is to enable science to be done.</li>
			    <li>Specifically, the science of the atmospheres and oceans of Earth and other planets.</li>
			    <li>Isca will always be open source.</li>
			    <li>Isca values contributions by the community.</li>
			    <li>Isca values simplicity over complication.</li>
			    <li>The models emerging from Isca are neither necessarily simple nor complex.</li>
			    <li>Isca is not designed for IPCC or for MIPs, but does not spurn them.</li>
			    <li>Isca will be opinionated about the best way to do something.
			    </li>
			    <li>Isca will be flexible enough for someone to do it another way.</li>
			    <li>Isca will be easy for individual scientists to configure and use.</li>
			    <li>Isca will not be designed for a single computer architecture.</li>
			    <li>Isca will evolve...</li>

		        <h3>The Isca Song</h3>
		        (to be sung to the tune of YMCA, by the Village People)<br><br>

		        <p>Post doc, there’s no need to feel down<br />
		        I said, post doc, pick yourself off the ground<br />
		        I said, post doc, ’cause you’re in a new town<br />
		        There’s no need to be unhappy<br />
		        Post doc, there’s a tool you can use<br />
		        I said, post doc, when you’re feeling confused<br />
		        You can download, and I’m sure you will find<br />
		        Many ways to model planets<br />
		        <br />
		        It’s fun to play with ISCA<br />
		        It’s fun to play with ISCA<br />
		        They have everything from astronomy<br />
		        To a bucket model, and topography<br />
		        It’s fun to play with ISCA<br />
		        It’s fun to play with ISCA<br />
		        You can get a run on, you can have a good meal<br />
		        It’ll be done once you’ve had your tea<br />
		        <br />
		        Post doc, I was once in your shoes<br />
		        My h-index had me down and out with the blues<br />
		        I felt no prof cared about my hard work<br />
		        I felt academia didn’t have enough perks<br />
		        That’s when someone came up to me<br />
		        And said, post doc, take a walk up the street<br />
		        There’s a framework called the ISCA<br />
		        It can start you back on your way.</p>
