MetaSci is a Python package that started as a collection of helpful scientifically-oriented functions and then ballooned. It is meant as a library of commonly used parts of other codes as well as adding additional functionality not included in other scientific packages.

The documentation for MetaSci may be found at: http://nukestar.me.utexas.edu/scopatz/metasci/

Due to its fuzzy definition, the term 'metascience' is often used to discuss spiritual and existential matters. Please see this awesome Toothpaste for Dinner comic This connotation is used as a pun here. (MetaSci, where the magic happens!)
