Laboratory of Marine Molecular Ecology (MME)

A Laboratory constitution (2019)

0, Consciousness

* You have to have consciousness as a member of MME.
* Keep in mind that research is “team play”.
* Think about other members. Never be selfish.

1, Research

* Study well the background of your project. Understand the concept, history and perspective of your project.
* Keep in touch with your supervisor.
* You yourself must think about your project. Think first by yourself, not ask first.
* Propose your original idea to your supervisor.
* Consider well what supervisor said before experiment.
* Devise your methods by yourself appropriately, which helps your advance.
* Do not waste everything, time, money, items and so on.
* Keep in mind that time is not unlimited. This is the most important in every work.
* Concentrate when you do works to avoid mistake. If you break equipments or decompose reagents (for example, if you leave a reagent which must be stored at -20oC at room temperaterue; if you leave the cap of bottle open) by your own mistake or on purpose, you might be asked to compensate the payment.
* Summarize your data every month. Never go next step without conclusion of the results.
* Keep in mind that all results of experiment must talk something to you.

2, Daily life

* You all have to arrive at lab by 8:30 AM, and clean up your lab. You must have responsibility to keep lab clean
* Consult and discuss with members in morning meeting.
* If you are not able to arrive until 8:30, notice the situation to supervisor or secretary. (Mobile phone or e-mail is convenient)
* Do not stay at night unless you have work. (To avoid risk, confidence of data and so on)
* Observe Japanese social morality. Study Japanese language.
* Games, comics, personal webs are not permitted in lab. You can enjoy these at home.

3, Safety control

* Keep in mind that lab is dangerous place.
* Completely understand how to throw away wastes. This is very complicated work.
* Study discretion method.
* Completely understand how to operate gas, tap water, distilled water and electricity.
* If you unfortunately get disease, do not come to lab. Take a rest at home or counsel at hospital.

4, Conclusion

Please say “MME lab was the most hard, but I did it! Other places are quite easy” after you get degree at here. Good luck!

Answer below questions:
  • Why are you here?
  • Do you like to explore unknown world?
  • How do you live a life?

I think these questions are appropriate for students to remind themselves.
MME members should deeply consider these questions and answer now.
You have to have answer to them if you want to push up your career
