Neeka, Dry labbing is a term of art for students from Georgia Tech meaning rather than actually doing the messy labwork, just generate the numbers and create a lab report from those. Not to say that Ramblin' Wrecks are particularly prone to faking numbers. The graphs from dry labbing tended to have lines that were a bit too straight. Ahh, it turns out it is in common usage. Dry labbing, a practice whereby research or analysis is claimed to be done, but in reality the conclusions are guessed at or copied from other sources without actually doing any analysis, has been an issue that has gained national mainstream attention with a Dateline NBC exposé on the issue in March 2012?.
