"State of the Lab" address?

[kubu4]

I saw this idea on Twitter and thought it was interesting. @sr320 would give us a "State of the Lab" (a la State of the Union) rundown:

• Current list of grants and projects
  • Award amounts, explanation of budget breakdown (e.g. overhead, benefits, supplies, personnel)
• Upcoming list of proposals being considered
  • Process of writing/submitting proposals at different levels (department, state, federal systems/requirements)
• Current grad student progress (for example, I didn't realize both @yaaminiv and @laurahspencer were submitting bypass paperwork!)
• Rough ideas of upcoming goals for the lab for the year

Basically, a bit more detail on the "behind-the-scenes" stuff in the lab. Anyway, thought it might be interesting.

I like this idea too!

I love this! I feel like I never know what’s happening.

Yes, very into this idea!

But why not just make all that public?

Could make it public, but you'd have to tell us where to find it...also I still think a verbal explanation could be a cool way to start the first lab meeting of the year ◡̈

Sounds good - I presume academic year and not calendar year?

thanks Steven

Agree with @yaaminiv. Not really sure if public/not public has any bearing. Would be nice to have discussion, ask questions, get explanations of processes, etc.

Will publish complement data product to go along with "address"
