Can confirm - the tour of SLAC is (or was in the early 2000s) a great experience. Apart from the squirrels sitting on the klystrons, I remember a lot of great engineering and 'forward planning': For example, highway 280 was not bu

Zotero rocks! I encourage all my students to use it as well even though the University has a license from Endnote. Power tip: reduce the number of characters searched from the default 500000 to more like 10000 for large (>5k) libraries o

I don't know about 'by hue' but almost all colors are not in the rainbow. The spectral locus is a line that runs around the edge of a 2D color space (technically 3D if you include luminance as well...). 7D if you are a mantis
