# Lab sync — 2026-04-07

**Time:** 10:00–10:45 | **Room:** Conf B / hybrid

## Attendees & agenda

**People:** Rivera (PI); grads Kim, Patel, Nguyen; postdoc Okonkwo; manager Müller. **Topics:** instrument queue; cytokine pilot timeline; authorship on the methods note.

## Discussion highlights

qPCR standards **passed QC**; unknowns Thursday if collaborator RNA lands. Flow cytometer **down one week** from 2026-04-14—finish sorts before then or use the core facility.

## Decisions

- Authorship: contributors with **substantial analysis or data generation** get named; acknowledgments for routine technical help unless exceptional effort (PI discretion).
- New samples from Collaborator X require **MTA confirmation** before receipt; Müller to verify status.

## Action items

Müller: booking SOP + downtime banner by 2026-04-08. Kim: pooled library manifest to core by 2026-04-09. Okonkwo: methods paragraph draft by 2026-04-11.

## Next sync

2026-04-14 — flow cytometer workaround + grant milestones.
