Scientists!

Tell us about an lab/field organizational tip that you think can apply to other scientist's lab/field operations!

Is there anything you used to do in a way that cost more or wasted more or made data fuzzy or, but now you've created a way you like better?

Share! @academicchatter @plantscience

@ml @academicchatter @plantscience Date everything, and get into the habit of using an internationally unambiguous date format (eg 2024-08-07, or 7 Aug 2024 or Aug 7 2024, but never 7/8/2024).

If you’re forced to use Excel, ensure that dates are entered in a way that Excel cannot interpret the column as a date (eg force the column format to character, or type the date as the number 20240807). This avoids date data being occasionally scrambled and corrupted.
