\nProject Description:<\/b><\/p>\n
The goal was to test the Slack web app as a tool for collaboration with research groups.<\/p>\n
A lot of research was disrupted by the pandemic, but the distance made Slack especially helpful for both informal and formal communication with research collaborators and students involved in research.<\/p>\n
Slack can be a useful replacement for physical lab meetings (especially invaluable in a socially distanced time). It has made it easier to send slacks to other organizations. It allows Pin’ing tasks which makes it a useful record of tasks assigned, and a way to keep information in one place. There are also tons of extensions and add-ons that could make things even better.<\/p>\n
Slack proved invaluable in the past year. Even after we return to fully in-person, I will keep slack as a way to keep open informal channels of communication between meetings.<\/p>\n
