You are welcome and encouraged to take vacation when and where you need it. If you are not taking any vacation time, I may recommend you, at least, take a stay-cation to allow a brain reset. Please let me know when you are taking time off, if only so I know not to message you then!

Why Taking Vacation Time Could Save Your Life

Note that those who are not employees, do not have to follow these same rules (though you should take vacations). Please just keep me up to date if you’ll be missing regularly scheduled events, so that I know what’s happening.

Sick days

If you are sick, please stay home and focus on getting better. If you are up to it, consider working on writing or catching up on the literature during those days.

Short vacations and long weekends (< 1 week)

Please send me an email by the day before and fill out the Lab google calendar with the dates.

Long vacations (1-2 weeks)

Please send me an email approximately one month in advance with the dates and fill out the Lab google calendar with the dates.

<aside> 💡 Typically, students take 3-4 weeks of vacation a year.
