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! 🌟
