Dear Hubbard Brook colleagues:

We've set up a Slack workspace for Hubbard Brook to facilitate the coordination of research activities and sharing of news and resources during the COVID-19 crisis.

As a Slack skeptic turned Slack enthusiast, I hope you all will give it a try. It takes a relatively small amount of effort to get started and it really helps organize and promote transparency within large teams.

Before we get started, please get yourself set up:

Step 1: Use this link to sign up with your work email:

https://join.slack.com/t/hubbardbrook/shared_invite/zt-dfusspc5-ge1Bm0CdpIgby6hWPAMWnw

Step 2: Download the Slack apps for desktop and mobile. Check out Slack’s Getting Started guides.

If you'd like more help getting started with Slack, please let me know and I'm happy to help! Right now we are starting with the following channels. You're welcome to set up specific channels for your projects as well.

#education-and-outreach (posts about education and outreach)
#general (general discussion and announcements)
#gradstudents-only (private channel for grad students - please ask Jenny Bower for an invitation)
#new-publications (post announcements and links to new papers here)
#research-swap (post here to coordinate research needs and share resources)

Best wishes,

Sarah
