> I feel a white board (or even better a smart board) works for most purposes. Paper gets lost too easily. Although the ubiquitous lab book is going to be hard to kill off entirely I get tired after writing on a whiteboard for half an hour or so. If it’s not a smart board, you will have to erase parts eventually – and even though boards are larger than A4, they’re not infinite (and markers make you writer larger than HB pencils). The lab book is probably not only more convenient/flexible but also slightly harder to fake than an Origin table or some such thing.
