Re: [DIYbio] Electronic and other old fashioned lab notebooks in and out of formal settings

I struggled with this some time back. I agree with Timothy and settled on MS Onenote. I use Mathematica Home Edition for visualization as I am an academic mathematician. I have used Python and the Jupyter system.

Thank you for those line items. here are top level URLS and a one line summary from my peeking.

https://www.notion.so/
  Workflow GUI 'who does what, when' group tool.

  Nested PERT charts as orthag. speadsheets.

  Database add in tool, report generator.

I note { Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna } spend > 1 Billion USF to get a mRNA vax shippable. Yet the essence of why there stuff was approached and AstraZeneca flopped would occupy maybe 6 printed page faces. Not opening the box of XX Billions in annual sales ... I think a notebook system scalable from free for students to supporting projects like this needs to grasp FDA sorta-kinda-traceability and where the files live matters greatly to decision makers.

Enabling both open ended research and "Do it because the boss says its right" is probably too much scope of work in a single IDE, but the underlying struct of knowledge might do this. I specifically 'diss the SAS model some lovely people who dont charge much or are free ( ex ad supported ) can be trusted with content. including all sorts of black hats. Jupyter has this utility... ipyng could live in highly secure boxes.. And starts free with no rules up to locked down like Nat. security is an interesting scope of work.

Interest in this is expanding. I note you cant send DNA clips via FB, I was corresp with a fine guy and tried and it bounced. was RNA, detected with there s/w and a polite note sent back and message suppressed. Don't try it if you don't want to endure annoyances... So maybe lab notebooks esp merged with real time people hookups will encounted this security in depth idea, too...  Of course some shared notebooks might automatically obfusticate DNA sequences and conf of Atoms like PDBs, etc so the shared recip would be denied some of the copy and paste of it entirely... But still get the higher level goals. presumably they could ask for more as required.... One thing about a paper book is it can be poked int a vault. Of course it can also be photocopied.

Im not trying to proposed to write one. I am proposing to avoid doing that but interface unusually well with one. Thermo Fischer has a nice one, kind of expensive but not terriblly so ( $ 1K / user seat per year )... A wrapper around Jupyter seems a possibility.

Regards,
Daniel B. Kolis
