Hi Magnus and Team,  I really like the way you formatted your experimental design document and how you included important calculations for reference.  I think that you thought this out well and I like that you included your data entry form.  Some of your measurements are quantitative, while others are qualitative.  I am wondering how you plan to use the qualitative data you collect.  Will you have standardized categories to choose from for the qualitative information or do you imagine those data will just be descriptive?
