Field Notes juxtaposes the scanned images of traced writings from the whiteboards at the Broad Institute, which were further edited in Photoshop, with bits of overheard conversation. The piece subtly critiques the challenges of data sharing in a scientific community, while shedding light onto scientists’ genuine enthusiasm and joy as well as frustrations. It is composed as “a day in the life” of a scientist.
