Description

Can we tag facilities and equipment onto projects, so people can learn more about them? There are some real similarities with software/environments here.

Interesting comment here: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/xuiiep/more_than_70_of_researchers_have_tried_and_failed/

>There was actually an unrelated very interesting study on proteins. 2 labs were collaborating and trying to purify/study a protein. They used identical protocols and got totally different results. So they spent 2-3 years just trying to figure out why. They used the same animals/cell line, same equipment, same everything. Then one day one of the students figures out their sonnicator/homogenizer is slightly older in one lab, and it turns out, it runs at a slightly higher frequency. That one, small, almost undetectable difference led two labs with identical training, competence, and identical protocols, to have very different results. Imagine how many small differences exist between labs, and how much of this “crisis” is easily explainable.
