Why are Lab meetings important and what can you earn by enrolling?
Some points from Badali, M. (2002). The lost art of lab meetings. Psynopsis: Canada’s Psychology Newspaper, 24(4), 14 are listed below:
Lab meetings provide:
· an opportunity to share your own research as well as learn more about what your colleagues are doing.
· a venue for practicing presentation skills and providing and receiving constructive feedback in a supportive environment.
· a forum for communication about current progress, upcoming events and collaborative efforts.
In lab meetings, you can:
· gain exposure to interesting research findings, theories, methodologies, etc.
· discuss recent articles, which promotes critical thinking and helps students to understand difficult concepts
· work through issues aloud and use colleagues as “sounding boards”
· receive feedback on one’s own research
· capitalize on the unique strengths of individuals in your lab (one member may be theoretically inclined while another is a stats wizard)
