First Kothe Lab Manual

August 6, 2019

On RNA Day 2019, i.e. August 1st 2019, all members of the Kothe lab signed our first Lab Manual!

We are very proud of this document that we have collectively developed over the summer in several team lunch meetings. Together, we have defined our goals and vision on how to interact as a product team of RNA researchers. And of course, we have tried to capture all these many previously unwritten rules and pieces of wisdom to make life much easier for new lab members in the future. 

Check it out, but please don't copy without asking us for permission first. Thank you!
