Lab Handbook

How we run research projects in the lab: expectations, structure, and tools. If you’re new, read in this order — it takes about twenty minutes and answers most questions before they come up.

1. Lab Expectations — what project ownership looks like, and the norms behind how we work.
2. Starting a Project — initialization checklist, the Project Landing Page, and the phases of research.
3. Communication Rules — weekly updates, Slack vs. email, 1:1s, and meeting notes.
4. Lab Infrastructure — the template repository, working documents, Overleaf, and the rest of the toolchain.
5. Evaluations & Check-Ins — the annual review, quarterly check-ins, and downloadable forms.

These pages borrow deliberately from Ethan Perez, Jacob Steinhardt, and Ben Kuhn — sources are linked inline where the ideas appear.
