Good thing I didn't actually try to make a lasing transistor from anthracene. Although I'm confident that light-emitting transistor research will eventually yield an electrically driven organic laser, once someone fashions the transistor into a resonant shape.Patrick Sheanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-78101478222633735782009-05-26T16:37:12.768-05:002009-05-26T16:37:12.768-05:00Hi Steve - My point about experimental notebooks i...Hi Steve - My point about experimental notebooks is that it's absolutely insane that no one, not even coauthors, ever saw one, even inadvertently. I mean, I never worked directly with John Rogers, David Abusch-Magdar, Julia Hsu, Rafi Kleiman, etc., but on more than one occasion I was either in the cleanroom or in their lab and saw them actually using their notebooks. Since I was working directly with him, I saw Bob Willett write in his notebook all the time. This isn't something I set out to do, but I definitely saw it. Similarly, Bob never asked to look in my notebook, but he certainly knew I had one and knew where it was if need be. I'm still mystified as to how Batlogg never noticed that Schon was not keeping any records.Douglas Natelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340091255404229559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-41234233555326364232009-05-26T16:13:58.725-05:002009-05-26T16:13:58.725-05:00Nice review Doug.

She did quote me saying this (kind of, a bit) but she doesn't give it a whole lot of attention. <br /><br />As for lab books: Not once in 7 years as a department head did I look at a lab book from any of the experimentalists who were my group save Loren. I dare say, some of them would have been extremely angry if I went poking around in their raw data. It was so assumed that people knew how to keep records, that no one ever thought there could be an issue.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514301100480098429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-31332711438138565352009-05-26T16:03:34.775-05:002009-05-26T16:03:34.775-05:00Daedalus did, though one cannot really consider th...Daedalus did, though one cannot really consider the two to be independent trials....Douglas Natelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13340091255404229559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13869903.post-81859150481752119262009-05-26T15:50:07.055-05:002009-05-26T15:50:07.055-05:00Thanks, Doug.
