This is a space where science meets everyday life.

I write to understand the science of the tiniest yawn to medicines in our daily life. And somewhere between all these, lies my curiosity to write about random thoughts of mine. The random thoughts that ask questions to help people understand science better.  

I watch, I wonder, I question, I research, I write.

Science knows no country because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. – Louis Pasteur

F.A.Q.

What’s the difference between Field Notes and Publications?

Field Notes are working-facing posts—method notes, reflections, and updates written for readability and practical reuse. Publications are formal research outputs (journal articles, reports, and working papers) with citation details and official links.

Can I reuse your datasets, protocols, or templates?

Often, yes. Each resource lists its license and any access conditions. If a dataset is restricted (e.g., sensitive locations or participant privacy), we’ll note how to request access.

How should I cite something from this site?

Use the citation information on the relevant page when available (publication citation, dataset version, or post date).

When in doubt, cite the page title, NotesLab®, the year, and the URL.

How do I collaborate or request access to restricted materials?

Email noteslab@dier.ie with a short description of your project and what you need (e.g., dataset version, intended use, timeline). We typically respond within 3–5 working days.
