The bulk of the work happens in between our weekly calls, and there are several things that should happen in the coming weeks to get the most out of the party.

Following these steps makes it more likely than not that you’ll have both a deeper understanding of the concepts, and also a manuscript with at least the Methods, Results, tables and figures ready to go as soon as possible.
