The purpose of this project is to generate a multipanel scientific figure using photographs of a local spider web. These pictures were taken with a great deal of thought as later on, a peer will be tasked with replicating the figure based on my methods. When selecting a web to photograph, it was important to choose an area that my peers would have regular access too so that they would be able to replicate the figure as best as possible. For example, the spider webs in my basement weren’t photographed because not everyone would have access to my basement. Throughout the process it became increasingly important to record as much detail as possible so that my peers would be able to produce a near identical figure.
Replicability is a huge part of this project. Not only are my peers going to be reproducing my figure, I will be reproducing one of theirs as well. By paying attention to the fine details and being sure to capture every single step and task, I intend to generate a precise layout for them to follow so that the replicate figure will be near identical to mine. If there is not enough detail then there will be noticable differences between the original and the replicate thus reassuring how important detail is while writing.
