Field notes

Lab work, reading, and small tools.

Keeping a reading list that survives

Plain text, one line per paper, DOI first. Tags at the end of the line. Search with grep. It has outlived three reference managers.

Peroxidase-like activity: what to report

Substrate, buffer, pH, temperature, and Michaelis–Menten constants with units. Half of the papers I read omit at least one of these.

A static site is enough

No database, no admin panel, nothing to patch on Sunday night. A folder of HTML served by nginx.
