The article explores how graduate researchers learn and think in a scientific research environment. By studying a chemistry lab, the researchers found that the researchers' thinking was influenced by the lab's practices and tools. This process of learning was similar to how science students learn. The lab environment helped researchers develop their scientific reasoning and knowledge through hands-on experience and social interactions.
