Biweekly lab business meetings and data highlights? I'm assuming there's probably a few logistics issues that need to be worked out as a group in a new lab.

I'm so glad I graduated college before AI became widely used for that exact reason. I didn't have to prove to anyone that my work wasn't done by AI. The worst I had to worry about was someone (wrongly) thinking I plagiarized
