Resources for students researchers

  • Application for undergraduates to do research in my group
  • Chemical Hazard Assessment Form for students to record chemical safety information for our laboratory procedures
  • Prospectus writing guide for my graduate students.
  • Writing large scientific documents with Microsoft Word is hazardous to your sanity. Instead use Lyx, which is a graphical interface for a publishing system known as LaTeX. Some helpful LaTeX files for formatting BYU theses and dissertations are here.
  • Inkscape is a nice (and free) package for doing line drawings, also known as vector graphics.
