I was consulting with a colleague (a tenured principal investigator) whose lab had an internal disagreement about a research process in a mixed-methods study involving recruitment of teachers. I suggested she consult her lab notebook and the notebooks of her doctoral students to reconcile the disagreement based on what was agreed to at the time of the proposal. She seemed confused. "A what?" A lab or research notebook. "Um...I have never heard of that for psychology or education labs." There was a heavy tint of "OK, boomer" in her response.
