A note on lab notebooks

摘要

From my first experiment in primary school(when I dissolved salt in some water and wrote down how long it took) all the way up until the last time I made a saline buffer,I have been writing things down in a lab book.Well I say’writing’obviously most of my lab books are filled with a series of marks that future historians will look at as some kind of interpretive ink dance.But not anymore,because thanks to nearly 16-years experience,1 have finally cracked the secrets of writing a good lab book.And providing you don't follow any of the following steps you will be able to write a good lab book too.
