a primer for new members

Greetings! If you're reading this you've been welcomed into the wheeler lab for the semester. Congradulations! This collection of documents will serve as a guide for some of the various tools you'll be using this semester. By no means is it comprehensive, but the hope is that it will serve as a directory to point you towards more useful resources, including tutorials, cheat sheets, papers, twitter threads, SOPs, and manual pages. Most of the lab is catered towards independent problem solvers. Feel free to shoot any of the senior members a message for help, but you learn the most by just trying. Good luck and get to work!
