Hi Everyone, I'm just curious if there is a necessary structure for a lab to run successfully, both in terms of general daily activities and for students to develop critical thinking and technical skills in a timely manner. Our lab is very small, consisting of pre-candidacy graduate students and undergraduates. I feel overwhelmed with the decisions and amount of work (not necessarily uncommon for a grad student, I guess), but I sincerely worry about the lack of support. I'm in a life science lab, and I can see the type of lab making a difference in needed personnel. Any thoughts in necessary personnel, or how to best succeed in the absence of senior personnel in the lab?
