What does a successful lab look like? How does your team help to accomplish the goals of your research?  What are your expectations for your students?  What is your management style?

Come explore these questions and learn about effective strategies from a panel of faculty investigators with productive research labs!

Panelists will talk about the mistakes they’ve made and lessons learned and best practices to:

• Create and support successful research teams
• Cultivate a positive and productive atmosphere
• Leverage different working styles and skills
• Facilitate and improve communication among the team
• Efficiently integrate undergraduates in research in meaningful ways
• Track the budget and much more!
