Lab Notebook Posts v Notion Notes

Projects Touched Today

• lab notebook
• mentoring
• mussel pilot experiment

New Knowledge

• I first knocked out Darian’s recommendation letter for a summer internship; had to get back into the writing groove.
• Next, I put together a weekly wrap-up post on my 1/25/26 resazurin trial with my pilot experiment mussels.
• I built the table with the observations of the pilot experiment to add to the pilot repo, and I made a few notes about what should go in the README for a small task later this week.
• I finished by moving my Notion daily notes to my daily notebook post template and updating the entire month of January. The ease of just adding a few lines in Notion (via my button) doesn’t really translate into an easy post setup, so I need to think about how to streamline that process. I like that I can capture what I’m doing or questions I have in the moment, but those are a bit too loosey- goosey.

Old Tricks

• It was a RUA day, so getting some of my admin tasks out of the way was a bigger win than I expected.

Word Count (Productivity)

A note on word count/ productivity: I do not include task- based writing, for example the recommendation letter and cleaning up my January notebooks posts, because those don’t directly move my work forward. I do count the resazurin post, because it was a synthesis of the work, a reflection on the results, and a plan for next steps.

• Resazurin post: 713 words
• Today’s total: 713 words
• Monthly total to date: 713 words
• Annual total to date: 10,969 words

Questions or Concerns?

• None.

Tomorrow’s Plan

• Will be made tomorrow to include resazurin analysis, editing and refining biomarker viz, and updating February noteboook posts.
