| As a biolological
scientist at the University of Florida working in a research laboratory
for 25 years, I implemented a lot of the computer technology in
the laboratory. Here are few examples:
1. Quicken
This software can be used to track all your accounts, your grants
individually, your laboratory expenses and make an inventory of
your laboratory. Then financial reports are easily generated. In
one word, organize the financial aspect of your laboratory without
depending totally on the business office.
2. Microsoft Excel
- Data
Excel plays an important role in handling
our scientific data. We enter and organize all our scientific
data and do preliminary statistical analysis. We use the IF function,
What if analysis, randomization, Chi-Square statistics, Vlookup
function, data base and its functions.Then to do more extensive
statistics we link the data from Excel to SAS using the infile
statement. We write small macros to calculate results for our
Radioimmunoassays.
- Graphics
All the results of our experiments are graphed
in Excel then imported in PowerPoint.
3. Microsoft PowerPoint
All the presentations are generated in PowerPoint. In some of our
presentations we link Excel spreadsheets and Word files together.
4.Microsoft Word
All our written documents are generated in Microsoft Word.
5. SAS/STAT Software
I analyzed a lot of data set using the Analysis of Variance
general linear models
- least squares means
- random effects
- homogeneity of variance testing
mixed linear models
- fixed and random effects
- multiple comparison of least-squares means
- repeated measurements analysis
