And That's Why You Shouldn't Doodle in Your Lab Notebooks

It's not just anyone who can get the Wellcome Trust interested in acquiring and maintaining a bunch of old lab notebooks. But when you're Fred Sanger, Britain's only two-time Nobel laureate, it's a different story. Sanger just handed over his collection of 35 lab notebooks, in which he detailed how he determined the structure of the insulin protein and his work in early DNA sequencing, among other things. The notebooks will eventually be available for public study at the Wellcome Library in London, according to this news story from the Guardian.
