New Toy

  I have been long persuaded by an excellent lab mate to download Inkscape for the production of beautiful figures for presentations. Rebellious and stubborn of me, I didn't download it. Now with some motivation other than aiding research and presentation, I downloaded it to the school Mac and domestic Linux. 

  It could be pretty cool! Good new toy to "little drawings" !
