labElephant | Why labElephant?

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

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!"

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

If you and your students currently use Microsoft Office™, using labElephant leverages that power and capability
