Lab Horizons, Issue 7: The future is ELN – Out Now!
Lab Horizons Issue 7 is here, and in this edition, we turn our focus to Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELNs) – the modern solution that’s fast replacing the traditional paper lab book.
In Issue 7 of Lab Horizons, we’re taking a hard look at Electronic Lab Notebooks and how they’re reshaping the way research is recorded. Forget everything you thought you knew about paper lab books—this issue challenges you to reconsider your approach as we explore the very real benefits of going digital.
We’ve also gathered fresh insights that delve into the practicalities of digital adoption in research. An exclusive interview with Jonathan Rogers reveals how Instro is using AI to simplify technical documentation for scientists and engineers. In addition, you’ll find thought-provoking articles on common pitfalls in implementing new lab systems and real-world tips on overcoming the digital training gap.
As always, our regular features are back to keep you informed and inspired—from the latest news updates and our quirky CompSci Cat column. In this issue her column “Implementing Electronic Lab Notebooks Doesn’t Happen By Magic,” takes you through ten essential steps for planning, integrating, and maintaining a commercial ELN. It’s a practical, no-nonsense guide for anyone looking to make the leap from paper to digital, outlining the challenges and the rewards of a well-planned transition.
We are also introducing Sarah Hussain our social correspondent who brings us insights into the social media world of science. And as always our handy AI prompts and engaging game reviews. They’re all here to ensure you get a well-rounded view of today’s dynamic research landscape.
Whether you’re curious about gamification or looking for actionable ideas to implement in your own lab, this issue has something for everyone. Read it for free today, and don’t forget to register for our newsletter to stay ahead with the latest in science and research!
