[PhD planning]

• Julie seems to be happy with the Anatahan samples, so I don't need to dissolve dupes.

More dissolutions
French RM (3): UB-N, AN-G, AL-I
G/H/T (6 ?x2): H28, H38, H64, G6, G117, T557
Marquesas dupes (2): UH53, TH14 (maybe one more each of FH01, TH13 too)
Chauvel new, no lead (8 ?x2): HV64, HV76, TH4, TH5, TH8, TH31, TH39, 108B
Chauvel new, lead (11 ?x2): RRT-032, RRT-037, 74-386, 74-390, 74-396, TBA09, K109, 5434, 5436, 5433, 5435
(IODP crap: 3)

Total: 30, i.e. 3x rounds of chemistry, huh, is that all? (Ignoring IODP stuff and dupes (except Marquesas definite dupes)

Okay, arbitrary subdivision:

Round 1: RRT-032, RRT-037, 74-386, 74-390, 74-396, TBA09, K109, 5433, 5434, 5435

Round 2: 5436, UB-N, AN-G, AL-I, H28, H38, H64, G6, G117, T557

Round 3: HV64, HV76, TH4, TH5, TH8, TH31, TH39, 108B, UH53, TH14

NB need to talk to Julie + Mark about sensible ways to keep elutions from ESPECIALLY round 3 but also if poss round 1.

Not intending to start next week - Too Many Of Thing - but might be able to get done before term starts, depending. HURRAH.

it appears that you are planning to do lots of letters and numbers. For science. :-P

Personally (and obv YMMV) I find that "thinking" tasks divide into two: the methodical ("plan want steps I must go through to validate this model"), which I can break down and plan like nearly any task, and the creative ("why is this result not as expected? What's the mechanism here? ") which doesn't work that way.

Some of my ongoing issue is settling down to reading...
