Lab notebooks

Science becomes more equitable when information is accessible to all.

All members of the MMEP Lab are required to keep electronic lab notebooks. These lab notebooks act as resources for ourselves and others. We encourage the use of lab notebooks to document methodological processes, roadblocks, troubleshooting, half-baked ideas, and fresh results.

Note: Due to SCU restrictions on sharing Google Docs, electronic lab notebooks hosted on Google Docs are not open access by default. If interested in viewing a lab notebook hosted on Google Docs, please submit a request for access on the document itself
