On the bench: the ITC field controller, where the target is 1 ppm stability; commissioning time-resolved EPR at NIOCH; and T2 measurements on trityl isotopomers. Also the SIFTER background, with M. Yulikov (ETH, Zürich) and N. Isaev (ICKC, Novosibirsk).

In the editor: a Mellin transform implementation, and auto_epr in Atomize.
