2. Getting Started

Last updated:

Your first week is mostly about getting set up. We try to provide every student with a laptop and a computer screen so you can work comfortably from day one.

  • U of T accounts
  • Join the lab GitHub organization: chemcognition-lab
  • Zulip
  • Compute cluster accounts
  • Shared drive
  • Go-links
  • Set up your laptop and cluster access with hpc_setup
  • Start your first project from the project template
  • Look through our agent skills for AI coding tools

Questions can go to the #TechSupport channel in Zulip. The source for this handbook lives in the lab website repo (members only), so you can propose edits there.

When you leave
#

Code lives in the lab GitHub organization and data lives on lab storage from the start of a project. When you leave, your repositories and data stay with the lab so others can build on your work. You’re welcome to keep copies of your own code and to open-source it after publication, unless a collaborator or industry agreement says otherwise.

Before your last day:

  • Make sure every repo has a README explaining how to reproduce your main results
  • Hand off anything another student depends on
  • Papers still in revision: [TBD]
