Slavov Lab | Welcome new members

This welcome page outlines the goals and the logistical organization of the Slavov Laboratory. It also provides links to accessible introductory resources for scientific topics and technologies relevant to our research.

Goals

Help each lab member to grow as a scientist / engineer and become more independent
Learn to prioritize, to focus on the essential and ignore distractions
Learn to formulate and test hypotheses
Develop new skills
Make discoveries and develop methods that are conceptually original, distinctive & non-redundant.
Publish papers, advance our careers and raise support for the goals above.

Organization

Scheduling
- All scheduling is done via the lab google calendar that will be shared with you.
Data Sharing & Communication
- We also communicate via lab slack account.
- We share data and collaborate on manuscripts via google drive, overleaf, and google docs
- The slides for all lab presentations have to be placed in the designated google drive folder.
- We have a local server and a google account for data storage.

Meetings

Weekly group meeting
- Summarize results from the last 1-2 months or lead a journal club discussion. The goal is to present your results more holisticaly in perspective. We rotate alphabetically according the order from our website.
- Get feedback from everybody and practice your presention skills.
Weekly club meetings
- Design experiments, set goals, get help with data analysis and interpretation
- Present less mature results to colleagues who need little background
- Update on goals set the previous week / month.
- To stay focused and organized, we follow Focus 20/20:
  - Start with the central point / goal of the presented work
  - Presenations are up to 20 min max.
General Meeting Time (GMT)
- Questions of limited interest for the rest of the group
- Detailed feedback on manuscripts, career development, et al.
- If you want a 1-1 meeting, book a slot within the GMT period.

The meetings do not have to take the full allotted time.
