Lab meeting topics | November and December

[KirstieJane]

Please add your requests and suggestions for lab meetings on 7, 21, 28 November and 12 December 😄

Some ideas to start us off:

• Synchronising contributing guidelines across Whitakerlab projects
• An intro to Jupyter book (@emdupre?)
• An intro to visualisation in python (@sparkler0323?)
• An intro to the brain imaging data structure (@KirstieJane?)
• Designing & delivering an effective talk
• Book club (we all read a book and discuss it)
• Open leadership cohort (@malvikasharan & @yochannah?)

But these are just to prompt you - I'd love for the meetings to cover topics that you think are really useful. Maybe go through the previous lab meeting notes and pull out discussions that you'd like to have a greater discussion on?

Thank you for your ideas! ✨

Not managing to read as many books as there are book clubs I'd like to join, but maybe we can read a paper together? I think people mentioned good reads in the notes, maybe we can pick one of them. And pick up a few topics from there would be good, just as I would think some reflection a few weeks later might be good.

7 November: Georgia - all project discussion of how we can each contribute to the other projects in the lab
