Python, notebooks, variables and scientific quantities
A notebook executes cells in the order you run them, which may differ from their position on screen.

A notebook executes cells in the order you run them, which may differ from their position on screen. Give measurements names with units and rerun from a clean kernel before sharing. Integers count samples, floats represent measured values, strings label samples and booleans record conditions. A reproducible result includes code, input data and the choices used to produce it.
Worked example
For three wells, record concentration_mg_ml = 2.4 and n_wells = 3. Calculate total_mg = concentration_mg_ml * volume_ml only after recording volume_ml; the variable name exposes the unit assumption.
