week for group projects. We have the following regularly scheduled
meetings:

\marginnote{\texttt{NOTE:} All lab meetings are hybrid: in person in
Moore 416 or on Zoom. A Zoom link is provided in the \texttt{\#general}
Slack channel at the start of each term, to be used for all lab Zoom
meetings unless otherwise noted.}

\begin{itemize}
\item \textbf{Lab meetings.} We hold weekly lab meetings
in our main lab space (Moore Hall, Room 416). During the first week of each term,
we schedule meeting times via a When2Meet poll shared on Slack. Once finalized,
the schedule is posted and pinned to the \texttt{\#general} channel. If you are an active
lab member, you are expected to attend our lab meetings unless you
let \director~know that you have a conflict (e.g., a course that meets
at the same time, another commitment that comes up, etc.). Prioritizing lab meeting attendance helps build
and maintain a lab culture of collaboration and ongoing participation.

You are also expected to \textbf{present} at one lab meeting per
term. Possible presentation topics include (but are not limited to):
\begin{itemize}
\item A half-baked idea you have
\item An interesting paper you read
\item An interesting tool or software package you learned about
\item A tutorial
\item A (brief) hackathon
\item Something you're confused about that you want help with from
other lab members
\item A practice presentation (poster, talk, etc.) you'd like
feedback on
\item Lead a discussion about some topic you think would be of
interest to the group
\end{itemize}
Each presenter can choose their own format (e.g., informal discussion,
slide-based presentation, whiteboard-led discussion, interpretive
song or dance, a creative artwork--- it's up to you!). We recommend
that you start off by setting the ``topic and tone'' for
that day's meeting. For example:
\begin{itemize}
\item Quickly introduce yourself (name and current role in the
lab)
\item Say a sentence about what you're going to be doing with your
time
\item Set any ``ground rules'' you'd like others to follow and
make it clear what your ``goals'' are. For
example, do you want people to jump in with questions or random
thoughts as they arise? Take notes and wait until the end to
ask more in-depth questions? What sorts of feedback would be
most helpful to you? What are you hoping people will take away?
(Not all of these will apply to every type of presentation or
discussion, and there may be other elements you'd like to
consider; just use your best judgement!)
\end{itemize}

You can take up to an hour for your presentation or discussion,
although taking less time is fine. You can also share
a meeting slot with one or more other lab members. (A
presentation with another lab member still ``counts'' as a
presentation for that term.)

During lab meetings we typically focus on things that project teams want input
on beyond their immediate group. We also use lab meetings to discuss logistics,
give feedback on upcoming talks or poster presentations, and/or get project
updates that might be of interest beyond one project team. Generally we spend
most of the time going around the room and having each person give a brief
informal update about something they are working on, planning to work on, or
thinking about.
