Software I find useful
R - Open source and powerful statistics software.
Dendroscope - A free cross-platform phylogenetic tree editing program.
Evernote - Helps me keep my thoughts in order, mostly.
NIH ImageJ - For measuring from digital photos.
Dropbox - Finally a good way to synchronize your files and share them with people securely. It’s a great service (fantastic for collaboration as it keeps older versions available), and free. Check it out.
