#LabLife PSA-Standardize figures in your lab. Figure out what size micrograph generally looks good for your type of data, what size band etc.

I have a figure template that lays out panel sizes for micrographs with the preferred scale bar, band sizes for western blots, font sizes for labels and shows column widths for standard journals.

It makes it easy to move panels between different lab members or take panels from two papers for a single figure in a talk.
