What is the time commitment?
While there is no time constriction, new students in lab are expected to show up everyday in lab. There isn't a set schedule. Students will be working with their project leader(s) and discuss the appropriate schedule for experiments. Experiment schedules vary every week and continue on during summer vacation and winter break. Schedules can be flexible; however, serious commitment is required since some experiment may take up to 8 hours or so.
