Turns out all other slots were worse than our original one. So we will stick with Wednesday. Note, that I moved the lab half an hour out, as this will help some folks at the margins (they would only miss the first half hour or so).<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

Sadly, the new slot clashes with Katie’s schedule. That’s why we will also schedule a couple of extra sessions (mock talk for annual review; progress on research design for Study 2) for her on alternative dates. I will communicate these closer to the respective
dates.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

By the way, one of the reasons it is getting harder to find a time slot that works for all is that our PhD lab is growing in size!<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b class="">I am super excited to welcome three new PhD students to the lab.</b><o:p class=""></o:p></div>
