October 6, 2024
Sunday. I caught up on my weekend daily lab notebook entries, spent some time setting my October goals - one of which is not to punish myself for not being ready to go on the first- and scheduling out my quarter goals with task and output deadlines.
I worked on my 3 slides for Monday’s lab meeting by clarifying my goals, thinking about all of the things I would like to remind myself (as well as others in the lab), and working on my schedule to clarify my support needs for the quarter.
I realized I added my biomarker tasks to my schedule incorrectly, so I missed the mark on adding maps to the plots (10/4 due date). I was solidly thinking through the correlation plots and forgot about the maps. I will send Alison and Steven the correlation plots tomorrow morning, add the maps back after the Results section re-write and then update my calender to reflect the manuscript timeline with these adjustments.
I spent time annotating 3 papers for the introduction of the biomarker manuscript. I have revisited these papers frequently and as I gather my notes for the introduction draft, I want to be clear about what facts came from which papers.
