Chapter: 2 Introduction
The Gulf of Maine Research Institute is a collaborative workplace composed of a number of research labs and their PI’s. We collaborate frequently with external partners and strive to produce high-quality, reproducible, and transparent research.
2.1 How We Meet
Each lab at GMRI is organized independently to suite the needs and availability of that group. Labs generally meet once a week for a check-in and for planning that week’s schedule. The larger research team meets routinely every other week to discuss higher level updates and planning. These meetings are flexible and are open to updates from individuals that have something they wish to share.
