Lab Notebook Best Practices In-Person

Good lab notebook habits save time, support reproducibility, and protect your data. This session covers essential practices for physical lab notebooks. Participants will review anonymized sample notebook entries to spot errors and suggest improvements, then practice rewriting entries using best-practice guidelines. Whether you’re starting a new project or trying to tidy up your record-keeping, you’ll leave with concrete habits and a checklist to keep your lab notebook reliable, auditable, and useful to you and your collaborators.

 

This workshop has been designed around physical lab notebooks.
