 # Introduction {#intro}
 
-We do rigorous quantitative science to support decision-making for living marine resource management. We conduct our work using Open Data Science principles, emphasizing scientific excellence (not perfection) that is transparent, reproducible, collaborative, and ethical. We aim to make our methods and results available and support ongoing learning.\
-Our quantitative work is based on statistical thinking, using evidence-based approaches to compare among alternatives for models and management options.
+We are marine microbiologists with a particular interest in microbial community dynamics in ocean ecosystems. We strive for a holistic approach to answering scientific questions through collaborations with microbiologists, ecologists, engineers and physical oceanographers. We have spent the last 8 years focusing on the Southern Benguela Upwelling region, with a specific focus on how the resident microbial community is affecting critical nutrient cycling here. We conduct our work using Open Data Science principles, emphasizing scientific excellence (not perfection) that is transparent, reproducible, collaborative, and ethical. We aim to make our methods and results available and support ongoing learning.\

 See the next chapter for more detail on our lab culture and philosophy. We are motivated heavily by the following two papers - which provide a blueprint for how we think about the way we do our work:

 ## How we meet
 
-Currently, we meet virtually by Zoom for weekly lab meetings, individual meetings with Gavin, and our Shut Up and Write session.\
-We use Googledocs to set agendas, record decisions made, and outline action items during meetings. Each lab member has their own google doc for their 1:1 meetings with Gavin. Prior to each meeting, create your agenda for that meeting there.

 ## How we give feedback
 
 Feedback, both giving and receiving it, is an important aspect of our lab. Most of the feedback we give and receive is when giving and attending practice talks. We expect feedback to be supportive but constructive.
 
 This [resource from UBC](https://scwrl.ubc.ca/student-resources/learning-strategies-for-communicating-science/how-to-give-and-receive-effective-feedback/) does a really great job of outlining the main points of how to give and receive feedback.
 
-## How we share things (and send them to Gavin)
+## How we share things (and send them to Emma)
 
 We think it is useful to have standard ways of sharing things. These don't always have to be followed but are a useful guide and will make things easier. When sending material to someone, always make sure to describe what you are sending and try to make it as easy as possible for them to help you.

 Writing: Preferably via GoogleDoc, R Markdown, or Overleaf, but MS Word documents can also be shared. Google docs are particularly useful for collaborative writing, and have the advantage of there only ever being one version (as opposed to files that are sent around via email). Word documents should always have your last name as the first part of the file name (e.g. please no "mythesis.doc").
 
-We also share our institutional knowledge through our lab-chat github 'issues' repository. This is a community-driven troubleshooting resource, please contribute!
-
 We maintain a lab Google Drive folder for lab publications, presentations, photos, CVs, etc. Please make use of these so that others in the lab can make fair use of our work.
 
 ## Shared lab resources
 
-Where to find shared resources: - Google Drive - You will be given access to the shared drive during onboarding, take a look at the Lab Meetings folder to find Lab Meeting Notes for each semester (previously called the Supercharge Plan) - GitHub - thefaylab is the shared GitHub account for the lab - lab-manual - This repository contains the lab manual, see section \ref{#umassd-resources} for other useful resources and take a look at the [Wiki](https://github.com/thefaylab/lab-manual/wiki/Lab-Meeting-Schedule) to see the lab meeting schedule - lab-chat - This repository contains shared institutional knowledge for the Fay lab, take a look at Issue #22 for Zoom meeting links - Website - Take a look at the lab website, most of its information is duplicated in one of the above resources: <http://www.smast.umassd.edu/lab_fay/>
+Where to find shared resources: - Google Drive - You will be given access to the shared drive during onboarding, take a look at the Lab Meetings folder to find Lab Meeting Notes for each semester  - GitHub - theMMElab is the shared GitHub account for the lab - lab-manual - This repository contains the lab manual.
