"In my current role, I had a coworker who would add to the data in her notebook after testing was performed so that it would be validated. At times, she would even take the notebook home with her to make the additional changes. Taking materials from the labs and not documenting them in real-time are both violations of the company's ethics policy, as well standard lab practices. I had to make our director aware. She is no longer with the company."
