In the first post in this series, I introduced the background topic of my research focus, namely the evolution and impacts of genome size diversity in animals. Before moving on to the specific projects that I would most like to do in the near term if I had the funds, I want to discuss [...]

It allows users to set tasks and major milestones, to upload files, to set due dates, and to monitor progress on any number of individual projects. Aside from some minor hiccups with getting people in the lab to actually use it, [...]
