Lab Events and Meetings
Table of contents
Group Meetings
We participate in a weekly lab meeting (Thursdays at 11:00 AM). All lab members are expected to attend and participate in these meetings and possibly also group meetings offered by collaborators or related to team projects. Students at all levels are expected to participate in the discussion in the weekly lab meeting. Lunch will be provided to celebrate major lab successes (paper submissions, paper acceptances, grant acceptances, etc).
Hackathons
The lab will hold special, semi-regular lab hackathons to promote student and project progress. A trainee will be assigned to lead each hackathon, and that trainee will be responsible for coming up with a special challenge that requires the team to push forward (e.g., new algorithm derivation, code development, figure generation, etc). All lab members will be expected to attend and actively participate, and will have the opportunity for co-authorship for any papers that result from these efforts. Elana will provide meals for trainees at these events.
Lab Parties
To support lab camaraderie, Elana will host an annual winter holiday lab party and other outings during the year to celebrate team successes. All lab members are encouraged to attend.
Scheduling
Timing for weekly one-on-one meetings will be scheduled when members join the lab. Elana will try to notify members if conflicts occur as soon as possible to facilitate rescheduling. Trainees are encouraged to reach out to Elana and her admin Danay Rodriguez if at any time an additional meeting time is required.
