October Resource - Web Plot Digitizer:

Have you ever needed the raw data from a figure you found, but only had the image? WebPlotDigitizer is an invaluable free tool I used a lot in grad school to compare my data to those I found in literature. Just tell it where the axes are, what line color you want to extract, and voila! A CSV!

October News - What's with your lab coat?:

We need your help! We're collecting data on what researchers love and hate about their lab coats. Want to help us make a better one? Please fill out this 10-minute feedback form below and let us know if you'd like to be a beta tester when we have prototypes!
