I do wonder if standardized equipment with digital controls (or digitally monitored controls) to record all salient values throughout an experiment would 'solve' this.
Obviously some cutting edge stuff can't use standardized equipment, but can you standardize a lot of other stuff?
- eximius 6y agoTo expand, you'd have petridishes that monitored temperature and humidity levels, maybe a couple other values. Gas chambers would record various pressure values, etc. I obviously don't have the experience to enumerate what is important. haha but maybe its still a worthwhile idea
- rjsw 6y agoI don't think you need to go as far as standardizing the equipment, capturing the control settings as well as the output data in a standard form would do. I'm currently trying to push the use of an existing standard [1] for capturing engineering experimental results. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_10303 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_10303
