Communication

We use Slack for informal non-scientific communication.

We use GitHub Issues for recording and organizing all our scientific communication. All GitHub repositories are set up to automatically ping to Slack upon updates. For more information on how to use GitHub Issues, see How to use GitHub issues and branches.

Lab Notebooks

We use GitHub Repositories to record all our scientific work.

Progress Tracking

We use GitHub Project Boards for tracking progress on individual Issues. Before the end of every work week, lab members update their project board to indicate what Issues they worked on the past week and plan to do so in the next week. Then post a new detailed comment in each Issue with the title Update indicating what you did or plan to do along with links to notebooks, figures, code as appropriate.
