Ten simple rules for establishing an experimental lab.

This article discusses the process of establishing an experimental lab alongside computational research. It provides ten simple rules for researchers who are interested in moving into experimental studies, including the importance of collaborating with experimentalists, staying up to date with experimental techniques, finding lab space, keeping computational research ongoing, securing funding, organizing the lab, writing ethics applications, expecting a three-year timeline, documenting experiments, and publishing in experimental journals. The article emphasizes the benefits of combining computational and experimental research and offers practical advice for researchers considering this transition. [Extracted from the article]
