On line lab note book

Why OnlineLab Notebooks?

I believe the scientific endeavor is best served by transparent and reproducible work. It is my goal to participate in open science and share not only outcomes but process.

These notebooks document thoughts, analyses, knowledge gains, roadblocks, detours, and products. This lab's goal is to facilitate scientific advancement through the open sharing of data and analytical approaches. As with science, these notebooks are works in process, hopefully advancing with every iteration.

The notebook is platformed on GitHub and is directly linked to GitHub repositories that contain further details on what's presented in notebook posts. The notebook and repositories are dynamic real-time documents.
