More than a footnote: the woman behind modern particle simulation

From protein folding to fluid mechanics and galaxy formation, particle-based simulation shapes modern science. Here, I argue that this computational tradition begins with the code Mary Tsingou wrote at Los Alamos in 1953, a contribution still not fully recognised.
