Lab Members Writing Code
If you are going to be contributing code you should get a github account and brush up on your Ruby skills. See Starting with Ruby and Version Control for more info about git, github and Ruby.

Lab Members Working in the Wet Lab
If you have not taken Chem 201 and you will (or might) work in the wet lab, go to the library learning resource center and take the laboratory hazards training (not the lower level training the janitors get) [what exactly is this called?]

In addition, familiarize yourself with the Lab Practices page, which contains some particular pointers about how to use the space.
