Very insightful! I really liked the lines: (a) "This is because I viewed my lab notebook as a finished record, a beautiful and complete depiction of my research. Because of that, I accidentally fudged it." (b) "I began to understand that if you don’t have time to record the experiment, you don’t have time to do the experiment. That science depends on the accuracy, not the beauty of the records."
