Organization and Policy:

Safety first in field and prudent laboratory practice is required. Your hours are your business.

Each lab student has a regular weekly meeting time (petit-seminar) with the supervisor (Kazu), as well as frequent informal contact by email. Total annual time of the petit-seminar for discussion and instruction and so forth should be up to 45 hour/year for each student. That's all in English, but it may be in Japanese for only each Japanese student. Additionally, each lab student is supposed to participate diligently in course seminar (tens of participants) of each student twice a month.

For more than several lab-members, we should hold a round-table meeting every month. A round table begins with a business meeting where we discuss matters of general interest and solve problems. During a round-table, every member in the lab briefly reviews events and results since the last round table and figure goals for the next interval in Globish. Round tables allow us to keep current between major research presentations, and ensure communication and exchange of help and ideas among lab members.
