instruction: What is a synapse notebook?
response: A synapse notebook is a technology built by Microsoft that takes advantage of spark pools.  This is an environment that Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and Data Engineers can work in to build models, data engineering workflows, and neural networks to name a few.  It is very similar to Jupyter notebook style.  These notebooks environments enable code to be written in a modular format in different cells which can be executed independently of one another.
