Onboarding
===========

**New to the Galloway lab? Start here!**

Before your first day in lab, you can get started setting up important software. See :doc:`/training/onboarding/day_0_setup` and 
:doc:`/training/onboarding/software_tips_and_tricks` in particular. Once you've installed everything, you may also wish to learn 
(or refresh your memory) on :doc:`Git </training/onboarding/git_intro>` and :doc:`terminals </training/onboarding/the_shell>`, and test your knowledge by confirming that you can :doc:`set up a computational environment </training/onboarding/environment_check>`.
If this is confusing, don't worry! We can help you do these steps when you arrive in person.

On your first day, follow the instructions at :doc:`/training/onboarding/day_1_in-lab`. Ask a lab member to help you complete the 
onboarding form and show you around the lab. Connect with the current EHS rep to schedule your lab-specific safety training (required
before you start lab work). 

As you get settled in lab, you may want to peruse this protocol site and the lab SharePoint. There's a lot of interesting info there!
For instance, at :doc:`/training/onboarding/day_2_content-trainings`, you'll find written resources from past trainings on a variety of
lab techniques. Elsewhere on this site, you'll find detailed protocols for performing them in lab. Tip: If you ever need help doing something,
search the protocols page---there might be instructions already written up (e.g., for :doc:`ordering </general/ordering>`, :doc:`using the Keyence </instruments/keyence/keyence_use>`, 
:doc:`culturing iPSCs </protocols/tc/iPSCs/ipsc_culture>`, :doc:`adding to this site </contributor_guide>`, and more)! On the SharePoint, you'll find
recent presentations in the ``Group_Meeting`` folder, and you can create a folder for your project (for plasmids, experiment calculations, 
graphics, etc.) in the ``projects`` folder.

Feel free to ask your new labmates questions---we're all happy to help you get started. :)
