Welcome to Stemnode; A Collaborative Equipment User Manual.

Mission

To enhance the sharing of knowledge on scientific equipment & methods, pay forward lessons learned, and make research more efficient.

How to Use

Search for equipment in the upper right. If a page does not exist on a piece of equipment then you can create it. Our User Manual will help get you started.

About

Stemnode was made to make lab manager's and graduate student's live easier. If we share failures and training material rather than repeating mistakes, then we can progress science faster, get knowledge outside the paywall...and maybe even graduate sooner. Our pages are open for contribution and creation, but recognize authors which can help others know what your lab is capable of and create opportunities for partnerships.

Stemnode Diagrams

Stemnode diagrams are in alpha testing. The diagrams allow equipment, methods, or other systems to be mapped out, combined, or subsystems explored. Learn more at Stemnode Diagrams.

 ==Mission==
-To compile knowledge on natural and human made systems and enable people to work together in creating better systems for the future.

 ==About==
-Stemnode is two complimentary websites; Stemnode.org and wiki.stemnode.org .  Stemnode.org provides systems of systems diagrams to break down the complexity of science and technology.  Each node in Stemnode.org represents a system. Each node can also link to a page on wiki.stemnode.org.  In this way the nodes serve to reduce redundant content by setting the boundaries of what each review should cover.

-Stemnode was made by graduate students for graduate students to share and build on each other's literature reviews.  Graduate students in STEM in the United States alone produce literature reviews that exceed the size of English Wikipedia every two years (Citation).  Imagine if we combined our work and built on each other's work; we can progress science faster, get knowledge outside the paywall...and maybe graduate sooner.
-Stemnode.org diagrams are composed of three primary components; nodes, ports, and flows.  There are two types of nodes; circular nodes represent systems that convert inputs into outputs, and square nodes represent storage
