At any given moment TWC team members can be anywhere in the world. Email is our lifeblood; our expectation is that everyone,including our undergrads, are constantly in touch and use it properly.
- Whenever John, Patrick or one of the TWC Professors send emails making a specific request, you must reply!
- Your default behavior should be to Reply All unless otherwise requested not to
- You should be actively emailing any TWC researcher with whom you are working. Copy John and Patrick on all such emails so that we can ensure communications are happening as smoothly as possible.
- If you are having difficulty reaching a TWC researcher, please let us know!
Weekly attendance:
- Undergrad Lab team meetings
- TWC project meetings for any projects you are associated with
- "Auditing" of other project meetings is enouraged
Weekly blog/wiki entries: Platform TBD
