Communication Philosophy

Core promise: I promise to be open and honest with you, and to listen with the same openness and respect to whatever you want to share with me.

If something isn't working - work quality, pace, or communication - I'll say so directly and respectfully. I won't let concerns sit unspoken.

You don't need to read between the lines. If I haven't raised an issue, you can assume we're fine.

Reach out whenever you need - email or Slack as often as you like with questions, ideas, or updates. If we need to tune the cadence or ask for more prep before a message, I'll tell you.

This goes both ways. If you don't like something I'm doing, if my approach doesn't work for you, if something I or someone else did made you uncomfortable - or you're bored, stuck, or just found something funny - tell me. I'll listen with openness, honesty, and no judgment.

The goal is a safe, clear, trusting working relationship so we can focus on doing good science together.
