Paper pause

Expect light blogging for a while, I’m trying to write up the erotic alkali stuff- the project from which I presented a data datum point at the Goldschmidt conference. As you can see from the figure below, I collected too much many data. So now I have to make sense of it them, or at least come up with good excuses to throw the crappy stuff out.



For example, excluding the days when we were running with the designated high alkali cones gives something like this- which almost looks vaguely half-under control for some of the time.



Even after I get a handle on all this, I still need to write the damn thing- and I suck bigtime at writing papers. So the lounge may be a bit quiet for a while.
