If you are a student in the group, or thinking of joining, have a look at our group guidelines: the Student and Supervisor Expectations, which set out what students can expect from their supervisors and what we expect in return, and the Advice and Guidelines for Students, which cover wellbeing, belonging, where to turn when things get hard, and everyday good practice. These are living documents that reside at github.com/navidcy/group-guidelines; suggestions are welcome!
