I am reading HBR’s book on Mental Toughness and it is such a great read! If you want to read into the makings of a ‘corporate athlete’, its a great book!

Our paper on adhesion is online now.
It describes improvements in interfacial and interlaminar shear strength of UHMWPE-interleaved carbon/epoxy composite laminates as a result of Reactive Ion Etching.

The choice of linear baseline in DSC curves
Especially for deconvolution work and subsequent estimations
Without explanation or stating constant Cp assumption for sample polymer
TRIGGERS all sorts of things in me!
Difficult day.

I said to myself, that if I was able to publish my paper, I will consider writing a book.
If the paper does not go forward, book writing plan goes out of the window. No confidence to move forward.
Well, the paper has been accepted for publication.
There is that.
