Scientists are relying more and more on electronic lab notebooks. |
One of the exciting parts of starting in a new lab is the chance to start establishing some better lab practices. As
I wrote a few months ago, I was gaining a lot of traction using
Microsoft OneNote as an electronic notebook. I liked it, but after a lot of use, I found it was not meeting my needs for customization, formatting, and most importantly, version control. As I started in the new lab, I decided to drop the ol' OneNote notebook and try out markdown on GitHub, as is used in my new lab. Ultimately I found markdown to be much more functional than OneNote. This week I want to share this experience so that you can try it out too.
