(Need to make a separate demo video for each point: by the end of May)
Uses of Kadi4Mat as infrastructure: 

1. Joint research paper management
    * Publication of associated research data
2. Workflow documentation and sharing
    * Interactive version of the workflow (using **Jupyter notebooks**, Github, GitLab, etc.)
3. Electronic lab notebooks: Using K4M as a bridge between the theoretical  and experimental groups


### MEMER (plot_essences)
1. Plot examples in Jupyter notebooks (examples can be influenced by JAPL)
2. Professional figures aesthetically 
3. Comparison of not-so-good and great plots
4. Push it on git (everything in one place)
