@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.
