Shiny new blog!

Welcome to the RIVR lab's new blog!

We have a large lab to begin with, even if you don't take into account our many collaborations with different lab groups, schools, and universities. People are always joining and leaving, so it's difficult to keep schedules and email lists current, and on top of that someone is always going to miss a lab meeting due to other time constraints.

Enter the blog!

The idea is that if each of us takes the time to update the blog once a week or so we can remain up-to-date with what's going on instead of having a vague understanding. Instead of trying to email everyone (and inevitably leave someone out because we don't have their contact information), we can just update the blog which everyone can check. I hope that the blog may become a replacement for our group emails.

Here's what I ask:

1) After lab meeting each week the person in charge writes an entry explaining what's going on.

2) If there are any notable updates in the projects of anyone else, they can update, too. Even if it's as simple as "we're back in Nevada and will be there for the next two months!" it'd be good for everyone else to know, not just the people directly connected to that project.

3) If someone is going into the field/has a large project and needs help, they can post that request here.

Let's give this a try and see if it helps!
