Technical drawings for tools that I've designed for the lab
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Gold Foil Press | Design for a small stainless steel press for creating gold foil mounts. |
| NanoSIMS Rounds | Drawings of two varieties of 10-mm rounds for the NanoSIMS. Design A is for a wire-mounted gold foil and includes part numbers for normal and dovetail micron-sized drill bits. Design B is a simple ring for epoxy mounting. |
| NanoSIMS Rounds Case | Prototype design for case to hold 10-mm NanoSIMS rounds. Instructions for assembly and usage coming soon! |
Free. Science is by the people and it should be for the people.
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| COSMO | Double spike optimization for sample-limited analyses of isotopically anomalous materials. MATLAB-based (I get the irony given the adage above). Python-equivalent coming soon! |
| NebCondense | Jupyter notebook that guides students through L. Grossman's first calculation of early nebular condensation. This was developed as part of a Ge 141 (Isotope Cosmochemistry) problem set taught by F.L.H. Tissot at Caltech. |
Resources for making clear, publication-quality scientific figures.
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
| Half-Width Illustrator Artboard | Template artboard for half-width figures in letter format (following PNAS-style margins). Draw on Artboard 1, which has 1/8"-margins relative to Artboard 2. |
| Full-width Illustrator Artboard | Template artboard for full-width figures in letter format (following PNAS-style margins). Draw on Artboard 1, which has 1/8"-margins relative to Artboard 2. |
| Bentons Sans | Download the Sans Serif font used in all of my figures (and this site!) |
