The article emphasizes the importance of websites for research labs, particularly for principal investigators and their teams. A well-crafted website not only showcases research outputs but also reflects the lab's mission, culture, and career pathways for former members. The author, a newly appointed biologist, discusses his experiences at Mount St. Mary's University, where he established a research lab focusing on microRNAs. He highlights how involving undergraduate students presents mentoring opportunities, and he aims to provide his lab members with resources, including funding opportunities through the website he developed.
"A website is essential for research laboratories to explain their mission, showcase their work, and help prospective lab members understand the culture and values of the lab."
"As a new biologist at Mount St. Mary's University, I recognized the importance of creating a lab website not just for publicity but as a resource for students and trainees."
"Building a website for my lab has allowed me to mentor aspiring scientists while providing them with valuable resources, including funding opportunities tailored for their research journey."
"Though this journey comes with unique challenges, working with full-time students in my lab has been an incredibly rewarding opportunity for both mentorship and collaboration."
