TRANSCRIPT

for a 1st year PhD student

Mark HughesCentre for Integrative Physiology / Institute for Micro and Nano Systems

Issues for me:

• Naïve scientist• Experimental design…• Where to store my data?• Backing up

Aim: paperless PhD…. Using eCAT platform, Papers for Mac, etc

Worked example

Data storage

Meetings

How eCAT helps me

• Daily reminder of scientific theory… why am I doing this experiment?!

• Electronic repository for thought processes• Can store data or link to it

• But: I still have a paper lab book
