Pividori Lab Onboarding Repository

The repository is home to the onboarding information for the Pividori Lab at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.

Checklist for new lab members

• Read the onboarding.md document. It has important information about the lab's mission, expectations, lab meetings, individual meetings, source code, reproducibility, etc. Ask if you have questions.
• As a member of the lab, you should be able to claim a GitHub Pro account for your personal account. This can provide free access to GitHub Copilot. Check out the GitHub Global Campus.
• Request access to the lab's GitHub organization. For this, we will need your GitHub user.
• Request access to the lab's Slack workspace. We need your email address to send you an invitation to join.
• Request a seat in the lab space. Email the DBMI Admin team at dbmi.adminteam@cuanschutz.edu to have a seat assigned to you. See these other setup steps for more details.
• Browse the DBMI Intranet. It gathers the resources available to members of the Department of Biomedical Informatics (policies, services, research support, events, etc.). Take some time to get familiar with it. Access depends on your role, so you might not be able to open it; in that case, contact the DBMI Admin team at dbmi.adminteam@cuanschutz.edu.
• Add yourself to the lab's team webpage. For this, you need to fork the lab's webpage GitHub repo, create a new branch, make the necessary changes, and then submit a Pull Request (PR). Follow the documentation on how to add team members and/or take a look at some PRs like this one with a postdoc role or this one with a PhD student role.
• Ensure your computer meets the Baseline Secure Computing Standards. You are likely going to work with public, confidential and/or highly confidential data (see CU Data Classification). Please, make sure your computer meets the Baseline Secure Computing Standards, such as activating automatic updates, enabling the firewall, encrypting the whole disk, among many others.
• Check out these other setup steps to fully join the CU Department of Biomedical Informatics.
• (optional) Add your recent publications to the lab's website. If you want visitors to know more about your research, you can add your recent publications to the lab's website. This usually involves modifying the _data/sources.yaml file. See the documentation on citations for more information.
