Lab Administration

Weekly check-in e-mail

Each week you'll get an automated reminder to send the following, referring to the previous week:

• RA work
  • General framework we've agreed for dividing time among different projects
  • Hours worked, broken out by github project / issue
  • Main things you learned
  • Anything you're finding frustrating or would like me to know or change
• Other
  • How are classes going?
  • How is your independent research going?

Please try to send your reply on the same day that you receive the e-mail. It's fine to share info via a dynamic tool (e.g. GoogleDoc) but if you do please also attach it in a static format (e.g. Excel file).

Google Calendar

We store lab scheduling information in a Google Calendar instance.

Calendar syntax:

• Someone is out of the office
  • [INITIALS] Out
  • MG Out
• Someone is giving a talk
  • [INITIALS] Talk @ [LOCATION]
  • JMS Talk: ad-price-drivers @ NYU

Please ask before scheduling time off.

Evernote

We use Evernote to share personal information between PIs & predocs such as notes from quarterly meetings, information for PhD applications, etc. We will create a notebook called “YOURNAME - Shared” which we will share with you. It is your responsibility to keep this notebook organized and complete. When you post something you want us to see (new meeting summary, etc.) you should alert us by email.
