Open LabBook

We use an electronic Lab Book as a normal laboratory book that also allows to place photos, pictures and mathematical equations easily. We also access it from any part of the world an we make it public once the corresponding paper is accepted. It is also a nice tool for collaborative work as all thoughts and data are available daily to all members of a group in a easy way.

For an automatic organization in days and easy use, we write the lab book in MS Word 2007 in blog format that we then send to a WordPress blog.

You can find our open lab book for our latest PNAS 2009 paper here. We made no effort to make the Lab Book easy to read for everyone, but we make it public for research transparency.

For file sharing we use Dropbox
