Trained as a researcher, I am engaged in the same process as my clients, so I well understand the obstacles and pressures they face when it comes to publishing their work.  I have seen immense changes in scientific publishing during my career, but I won't detail those here.  Younger researchers probably couldn't even imagine creating figures by hand, using graph paper, adhesive black tape, and plastic letters, when the Apple IIe was the state-of-the-art personal computer.

Some representative publications are listed below.
