How to be a good lab partner
ThemesHow to be a good lab partner
What is this about?
How to coexist in the laboratory without committing a homicide/suicide? A few of the most typical laboratory difficulties that need to be handled are organization and staff issues. [1]
Because of that, it is important to nourish the virtues of collaborative spirit, patience, and humility at the workplace.

Why is this important?
Working in the laboratory can be challenging. Like in every other collective you are stuck with people that you like and do not like, colleagues that work and that are slacking, deadlines are always pressing down, equipment is damaged and you must stay professional.
A new study emphasizes the importance of encouraging positive workplace social relationships, particularly male-female friendships[1]. Thus, this theme helps us to induce all the virtues that one researcher must have to live a productive and fulfilled professional life.
