Preparing to move on? Be sure to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Finish experiments and writing manuscripts — this is VERY difficult to do after leaving the lab<\/li>\n
  2. Provide soft and hard-bound copies of thesis to PI (if appropriate)<\/li>\n
  3. Schedule meeting with PI and\/or lab manager<\/li>\n
  4. Dispose of useless reagents and clean up lab area and glassware<\/li>\n
  5. Organize and catalog samples\n
      \n
    1. Plasmids and strains should be consolidated into as few boxes as possible<\/li>\n
    2. An index to the sample box(es) should be placed in your notebook that describes the location and identity of each sample in sample boxes<\/li>\n
    3. SLAM entries should be complete and informative — will a new student be able to understand and trace the entry\/sample?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    4. Back up data onto optical media (CD\/DVD); give to lab manager\n
        \n
      1. CD\/DVD should indicate which computer\/file system the files are\/were available<\/li>\n
      2. Backed up digital data should include: manuscripts, thesis, NMR spectra, fluorescence\/UV\/CD spectra, titrations, gels, graphs, DNA sequence data, mass spectra, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      3. Finish making notebook entries; give notebooks to lab manager<\/li>\n
      4. Give lab manager contact and forwarding information<\/li>\n
      5. Return keys to lab manager<\/li>\n
      6. Good fortune, best wishes and keep in touch!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
