Lab Practices & Policies
To achieve scientific excellence and a thriving lab, we stick to these guiding principles that keep things running smoothly and efficiently.
Collaboration 🤝
- We’re all in this together. Our team’s diversity—from Computer Science to Neuroscience—helps us tackle tough problems.
- The key to success? Admitting what we don’t know and learning together!
Patience 🧘♂️
- Science is hard. Expect experiments to fail more than succeed—but that’s where the magic happens.
- Stay calm, keep thinking, and collaborate when things go wrong. If something’s not working, it’s okay to move on.
Accept the Process 🛠️
- Mistakes and unexpected results happen. Embrace them.
- Facing issues head-on, figuring them out, and moving forward is the only way to grow!
Caution 🧐
- Skepticism is key. Double-check everything.
- Test your results from every angle to ensure you’re on the right track.
Attention to Detail 🔍
- Small details can make or break an experiment.
- Quality control is crucial to ensure things keep moving forward smoothly.
Communication 💬
- No one works alone here. Good communication keeps us on the same page.
- Frequent updates help avoid misunderstandings and duplicated efforts.
Feedback 🔄
- Constructive criticism is essential. It’s not personal—just a way to improve!
- Our goal is to find solutions, not prove how clever we are. Feedback fuels better science.
Positivity 🌟
- Science is tough, but a positive attitude keeps the team energized.
- If you’re having a hard time staying upbeat, let’s talk—it’s all about supporting each other!
Balance ⚖️
- Don’t burn out. Work smarter, not harder!
- Focus blocks and breaks will help you stay productive and refreshed.
Resource Allocation 💡
- Our resources (time, money, equipment) are limited.
- Let’s use them wisely to make the biggest impact. And always be on the lookout for funding opportunities!
As a lab member, your mission is to help us reach our peak efficiency while growing your own career and learning journey. Let’s achieve greatness, together! 🌟
