This is a summary of procedures for new people entering the laboratory. Current people might want to keep these in mind and help out new people with these.

• REGISTER New people need to register at the MBB business office -- e.g. so they get paid! Get your Yale Netid.

• DESK & KEYS Coordinate with Lori Iannicelli to get a desk and have access to the building and rooms.

• COMPUTER We are a computing lab and you would generally need a computer to be productive. Contact JL (Jason Liu) to request a laptop or desktop.

• WIRELESS & PRINTING Please contact MF to get into MBGMesh.

• YCRC/HPC To get an account in the Yale clusters (YCRC/HPC), fill and submit the following form.

• MISC Coordinate with the sysadmin (Mihali Felipe) to give you access to various Gersteinlab resources. You will need to provide your Yale Net ID. He will:
  • Add you to the ALL list
  • Grant you gw.gersteinlab.org access
  • Grant you Calendar access (GLCAL)
  • Grant you Lab Meeting access

• CLASS SCHEDULE

If you are taking classes, you need to put the schedule for your classes in the groups calendar. To do so, first go to http://partnerpage.google.com/gersteinlab.org and login. 
You will need to use your @gersteinlab.org account to do so. You will also have to get a member of the lab to share the calendar with you and you would need to add the URL of the 
calendar explicitly:
i.e. http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/gersteinlab.org_250u3al9jepssp14pk039tsnlg%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics  
This will allow you to view/edit it. After logging in, simply go to the calendar and add an event with the class for all the times and days in which it happens.

• INSERT YOUR INFORMATION USING GOOGLE FORM
