A one-page research plan
- The question, in one sentence
- The observation that would answer it
- Model system, groups and controls
- Replication: biological vs technical
- Planned analysis, decided before seeing the data

Before you start the experiment
- Is the protocol written down, versioned and agreed with your supervisor?
- Are reagents, cell lines and instruments recorded with lot numbers and settings?
- Do you have the ethics and biosafety approvals the work needs?
- Where will raw data be stored, backed up and named?
