New to editing wikis? Here are the formatting rules!
Philosphies
- Edit often See something out of place, fix it right then if you can!
 - Edit drastically Since a wiki is built up organically, re-factoring is frequently needed. Move pages around, delete sections, etc. We can always revert to old versions if it doesn't work out!
 - Nothing is off-limits Feel free to modify the template, the research statements, etc.
 - These are lab pages They are by lab members and for lab members (and everyone else)
 - Make it functional, then make it beautiful
