Code + image credit
pages are handmade by me, with help from the following:
texas instruments font from INT10h.org
dithering on all images courtesy of dithermark
interactive molecule viewers are embedded on the microscopy page with 3Dmol.js
where reasonable, i include image sources below the image itself. notable expections are the homepage and various buttons and blinkies, which you can find sources to below.
**if an image is not sourced here or on the page you found it, it is my own photo! this is where i could say "please don't steal" but 1. i couldn't stop you and 2. i do not care all that much. it would be polite to credit me if you use anything i made, though.
