[Athen] Accessible chemical drawing program

[Shawn Foster]

Thanks, Gaeir! I'd found that site just after I sent out my plea for
assistance. Hoping that the draw program they reference (Marvin Sketch
<https://www.chemaxon.com/products/marvin/marvinsketch/>, for the curious)
is still accessible after recent updates, and I'm also checking with the
faculty to make sure it will do what we need it to do.

If there are other options, still very interested in hearing them... just
in case!
