Experimental science involves collecting as much data as possible and recording observations in a lab notebook.

“People also really like atomistic picture, like do you think about what the local neighbourhoods look like, whether they're from octahedra, tetrahedra, and that especially chemists really benefit from that. Um okay, so that's on the theoretical side and on the experimental side you would try to collect as much data as possible. So you'd have a lab notebook and you'd write everything you see etcetera.”
