• 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.

• Scheduling
  • All scheduling is done via the lab google calendar that will be shared with you.
  
  
• Data Sharing & Communication
  • Announcement to the entire group are sent via the group email: quantlab@listserv.neu.edu
  • We also communicate via lab slack account: https://slavovlab.slack.com/
  • We share data and collaborate on manuscripts via google drive and google docs
  • The slides for all lab presentations have to be placed in the designated google drive folder.
  • We have a business lab google account with unlimited data storage for mass-spec data. It is research@slavovlab.net

• Weekly / Biweekly lab meeting
  • Summarize results that everybody in our lab can understand and appreciate
  • Get feedback from everybody
  
  
• 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 no interest for anybody else in the group
  • Detailed feedback on manuscripts, carrier development, et al.
  • If you want a 1-1 meeting with me, book a slot within the GMT slots.

The meetings do not have to take the full allotted time. We generally book longer periods than I expect we will need.
