Why labElephant?

  • Integrates data and knowledge
  • Structured to promote critical thinking
  • Leverage your assets
How knowledge and experiments synergistically drive the wheel of discovery

Louis Pasteur: "Chance favors the prepared mind"

  • In science, the knowledge component and the experimental component interact dynamically, as in the blue circle
  • Integration is achieved by one-click association of Ingots made on the Knowledge form with Experiments on the Experiments form
  • Association of Ingots with Experiments creates a vital connection between the Experiment and the thought process behind it

Promotes the upper tiers of Bloom's Taxonomy:

How labElephant feeds the pyramid of Bloom's taxonomy

How labElephant promotes each tier:

  • Remember
  • Understand
  • Apply
  • Analyze
  • Evaluate
  • Create

  • Entering thoughts ("Nuggets") about papers promotes their retention in memory
  • Entering paragraphs ("Ingots") about experiment figures records the conclusions drawn from them
  • Creates a "knowledge trail" as well as a "data trail"
  • Extensive search capability allows rapid retrieval of both data and text
  • "Elephants never forget!"
  • Entering "Nuggets" aids comprehension of papers from the literature
  • Virtual Journal Club promotes within-group comprehension of papers
  • Entering "Issue Outcomes" for Experiments aids comprehension of results
  • Previously made "Nuggets" and "Ingots" can easily be applied to new experiments
  • Each Figure "Ingot" allows the user to enter their analysis of the experimental result
  • "Issue Outcomes" allow the user to explicitly evaluate how the experimental results resolve the Issues addressed
  • The juxtaposition of recent and old "Nuggets" stimulates new thought, and synthesis of new "Ingots" and "Issues" for new experiments
  • The sharing of papers and of "Nuggets" about papers within the lab promotes a synergy of creative ideas
  • "Ingot" text can automatically include bibliographic reference codes for creating manuscript-ready text
  • Create "Stories" by adding and arranging Figures, along with "Ingots", that tell a Story, the skeleton for a paper or grant application
