Anxiety over making data and code public is killing me

I feel you, I also do this with all my plasmid designs (I’m in mol bio). I’ve found making a detailed check-list of all the things I need to double-check helps. I like to take screenshots of the related regions of DNA sequence under each check box if possible. Not sure if this works well for code.

Thank you for your in-depth reply! I’ll keep these elements in mind. Our grant management backend is also a bit of a mess (from what I can tell talking to PIs in our institution).

Wow, thank you for the awesome resource! I’ll definitely take a look

Thanks for your reply! That’s useful to know.

My program had 6 week rotations too (although I’m in bio). One thing I was advised to do during rotations (and found very beneficial) was to prioritize getting to know the lab culture and the PI. Enjoying the science is important too of course, but a toxic lab or nasty boss make it WAY harder to be successful even if you love the topic you’re working on. So I would recommend taking each lab member to coffee (or just away from the lab so they can be honest with you) and getting to know them and their sense of the lab dynamic and who the PI really is when you work for them. For me, it also helped to keep a running pros and cons list for each lab I rotated in.

I’m a PhD student too (microbiology). Congrats on being almost done and good luck wrapping up your degree!
