Space at a premium

Space is at a premium right now at Krasnow for a number of good reasons.

First, quite a substantial number of new grants have come in (congrats to all the involved PI’s–you know who you are!). Those new grants imply increased need for spaces to house graduate students and postdocs.

Second, we de facto house most of the neuroscience graduate students–one way or another.

Third, of course the construction projects that are commencing.

The result of this is that we’ll need to be very efficient. As Harold Morowitz once described the space policy at the Santa Fe Institute: “no more than two Nobel Laureates to an office!” But seriously, I urge every PI to think out of the box in terms of how you are utilizing your currently assigned space. Please understand that under the currently cramped conditions, some of our currently held assumptions will need to be revisited.
