5.2 Meetings

Lab meetings

Weekly lab meetings will be focused on project presentations and going over new data or methods. Lab meetings will last no longer than 1.5 hours. If at the end of 1.5 hours, we need more time to discuss something, we will schedule another meeting. Lab meeting plans and notes will be maintained in the #lab-meetings channel on Slack. All full-time lab members are expected to attend the weekly lab meeting.

Individual meetings

I will set a schedule to meet with each full-time lab member for one hour a week. If we do not have anything to discuss in a given week, that's fine - we can just say hi or cancel it. I am also open to additional project-focused meetings as needed - just ask or send me a calendar invitation.

Institute meetings

Every other Tuesday at 9:30 am the general IEECR Institute meeting is held in the Epileptology seminar room (C083.EG.266). This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the exciting research at our institute and provides a platform to share general information and announcements. I expect all lab members to attend. Please notify Tobias in advance if you cannot be present.

Journal clubs & joint lab meetings

In addition, we sometimes hold separate joint lab meetings or journal clubs. Joint lab meeting topics include project presentations, article discussions, and practice talks. The journal club is focused on discussing new and/or important research articles. Some weeks, we'll discuss a single article that everyone has read; other weeks, we'll each read a paper on a specific theme and do mini-presentations on each paper. As with our internal lab meetings, all lab members are expected to attend these additional meetings.
