Being a good lecturer ≠ being a good distance lecturer

How to write up a lab book: a terrible guide no one should follow

From my first experiment in primary school (when I dissolved salt in some water and wrote down how long it took) all the way up until the last time I made a saline buffer, I have been writing things down in a lab book. Well I say “writing” obviously most Read more…
