Somebody called up and said, \u201cDo you have a titration plot?\u201d I thought, \u201cI&#8217;ve never heard of it that way,\u201d but I went out and did a little Googling.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;It turned out that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qimacros.com\/scatter-plot-excel\/scatter-plot-examples\/\">titration plot is just a scatter plot of titration data<\/a>\u2026 it&#8217;s a scatter plot of a certain type of data, so yes, we did have it, right?<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;So I want you to get this idea that if you hear a funky term, maybe Google it and see what it really means and see if it&#8217;s just something simple that you can do already? You know, I think people sometimes try and baffle us with jargon or something, and so your challenge &#8211; should you choose to accept it &#8211; is [think] \u201cI wonder what that is? Let&#8217;s Google it.\u201d Right? Or \u201cLet&#8217;s \u2018Chat GPT\u2019 it,\u201d or \u201cWell, let&#8217;s do something with it\u201d and figure out what it is and how it might be useful to me.<\/p>\r\n<p>&#8220;That\u2019s my Improvement Insight for this week: Let&#8217;s create hassle-free healthcare, a hassle-free America.
