The document discusses a workshop held at Cambridge University for first-year PhD students in the nanodtc department, focusing on the concept of the 'perfect experiment.' Participants engaged in discussions and collaborated to create diagrams or equations to illustrate their ideas about the purpose and structure of ideal experiments. The document expresses gratitude to attendees for their involvement and reflections on experimentation.

involved and maybe reflected on what it
is to experiment....
