Lab Meetings¶

Group Meetings¶

As a lab, we will meet once a week with everyone (generally on Wednesdays), so that we can coordinate on any issues and get to know what each person is working on. This will also help to share ideas and discuss any new or old papers that may have relevance for our research.

One on One Meetings¶

We will have one on one meetings at a minimum weekly. Unless otherwise specified, you can sign up on the calendy link that I'll send out and for MWF meetings they will be in person.

To prepare you for how to organize this meeting, this document will help you organize your thoughts on progress since our last meeting. Please read through before every meeting so that we can best direct the meeting. link.

Journal Club¶

The Wang lab helps to organize a UCR Bioinformatics journal club on Wednesday mornings. Everyone in the lab should plan to attend.

Technical Resources¶
