Here is a very old document that I wrote up early in my career about how to create a lab meeting where everyone participates. It came out of my experiences participating in a variety of lab meeting styles. I wanted a safe and productive space for my graduate students and undergrads alike. Over the years, our lab meetings have waxed and waned in effectiveness and its always great to look back and see if we can continue to make them a vibrant place for learning and exchange of ideas that is fun and promotes a sense of belonging.
