- Update meeting scheduling: weekly lab and project meetings are now scheduled during the first week of each term via When2Meet poll on Slack, with finalized schedule posted and pinned to #general channel
- Remove outdated specific meeting times (Tuesdays 1:30-2:30 PM, Thursdays for director meetings) since these change each term
- Remove unused \labmeetingtime command
- Fix typo in URL (https:context-lab -> https://context-lab)
- Fix typo: "Efficiently Learning" -> "Efficient Learning" in inactive protocols
- Remove outdated "hybrid work" transitional language about COVID-era changes
- Improve conciseness throughout by removing redundant wording and phrases
- Clarify language in multiple sections for better readability

@claude our lab meeting format has changed (that section also needs updating): during lab meetings we typically focus on things that project teams want input on beyond their immediate group. We also use lab meetings to discuss logistics, give feedback on upcoming talks or poster presentations, and/or get project updates that might be of interest beyond one project team. Generally we spend most of the time going around the room and having each person give a brief informal update about something they are working on, planning to work on, or thinking about. and also note that all of our meetings are hybrid (in person in Moore 416 or on zoom, with a link provided in the #general slack channel at the start of each term, to be used for all lab zoom meetings unless otherwise noted) please also recompile the lab manual into a PDF, using the compile.sh script. This requires first installing latex. (First update the text and then recompile) |
