+**Run a reaction network with given nuclear input for:**
+  -	Fixed temperature and density
+    *	Try various temperatures and densities
+    *	Try different network sizes
+    *	Swap out a reaction rate with a different version
+    *	Vary initial composition (X, Y, Z or Ye)
+    *	Let evolve until Nuclear Statistical Equilibrium is reached
+  -	Temperature/density trajectories
+    *	$ T(t) = T(0)\exp{(-t/\tau)} $ or $\ T(t) = T(0)(1+\frac{t}{n\tau})^{-n} $
+    *	$ [1.+f_{\nu}(T(0))]\rho (t) = \rho (0) [1.+f_{\nu}(T(t))](T(t)/T(0))^3$
+    *	How do initial conditions affect the resulting nucleosynthesis
+    *	How does the trajectory form affect the results?
