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
