BACKGROUND
I am a writer, painter, songwriter and musician. For a long time I worked in science and technology.
While I passionately believe that science provides the answer to lots of human questions, this site is focused on art. Art responds to the questions on which science is mute, sometimes with answers, sometimes with responses that are more profound.

F.A.Q.
What’s the difference between Field Notes and Publications?
Field Notes are working-facing posts—method notes, reflections, and updates written for readability and practical reuse. Publications are formal research outputs (journal articles, reports, and working papers) with citation details and official links.
Can I reuse your datasets, protocols, or templates?
Often, yes. Each resource lists its license and any access conditions. If a dataset is restricted (e.g., sensitive locations or participant privacy), we’ll note how to request access.
How should I cite something from this site?
Use the citation information on the relevant page when available (publication citation, dataset version, or post date).
When in doubt, cite the page title, NotesLab®, the year, and the URL.
How do I collaborate or request access to restricted materials?
Email noteslab@dier.ie with a short description of your project and what you need (e.g., dataset version, intended use, timeline). We typically respond within 3–5 working days.
