Professor Mike Shipston of the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Integrative Physiology

Professor Mike Shipston of the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Integrative Physiology talks about using the electronic lab notebook eCAT. He describes his lab's research in ion channel physiology, and the challenges they faced before adopting eCAT, including coordinating a wide variety of data sets, keeping track of the data in projects as different people join and leave the lab. He talks about how the lab is using eCAT, as a data repository and a lab notebook, and explains that transferring to an electronic lab notebook was very easy, and that he particularly likes eCAT because it is web-based and can be accessed from anywhere.
