Welcome

This document is a social contract between Fred and yourself, and between the research group. My hope is that we can all strive towards the expectations and ideals in this document so that we can learn and conduct research in a safe and supportive environment.

More importantly, I do not consider this document to be a substitute for discourse within our group. Rather, this document is here to 1) remind us of what we’ve discussed and be something we can refer back to, and 2) serve as a jumping point to deeper conversations. Finally, this document is a living document and I hope that all members of our research group will contribute their own ideas to improve our group, tell me what isn’t working, and share tips and tricks for future members.

There’s a lot of information here - I suggest reading the following sections based on your interaction with our research group

Prospective lab member Sections 1-2
New member about to join Section 3 (as well as 1-2 if you haven’t already)
Current lab member, as needed Sections 4 and beyond

Contents of this document are heavily inspired by x,y,z.
