This week we thought it would be a good idea to recap some of the apps that we use on a daily basis to get our work done. We want to explicitly state that we are fully unsponsored and that these are just our opinions, not official recommendations or endorsements We chose iPhone/iPad apps since that’s what we and many of our colleagues use. A lot of these are transferrable to the Android or other platforms. Don’t tune out or you’ll miss some tips that will help you, no matter what the platform you use is.

Fun Paper Friday
This week we read about building sandcastles! Turns out that a lot of the worlds energy (about 10%) goes to handling granular materials and that we can learn a lot by examining simple sand.
