 Laboratory notebooks are a critical tool for data management in scientific research. A lab notebook is a complete record of procedures (the actions you take), the reagents you use (your materials), the observations you make (these are the data), and the relevant thought processes that would enable another scientist to reproduce your observations.

 There are multiple tools available to help scientists document their work and progress, but how to keep a good notebook is challenging. Goals for the class:

- discuss the different types of notebooks
- cover basics do’s and don’ts in keeping a lab notebook
- review ethical considerations around lab notebooks
- provide examples of what a good lab notebook looks like
- offer help to better manage your data and support good practices
