00:00 Podcast Intro

01:26 Why is it important to consider how we're staffing our laboratory during this pandemic? 

02:58 What are the different models or what are some different ways people have been talking about running a lab to mitigate this risk of the lab going down? 

07:07 I like how you know, you're also talking about these challenges of space and some of the conversations that you're having with infection control at the institution level.

09:05 When you were talking and looking at those different schedules and going to the different shifts, you mentioned that there was a lot of time that was invested in doing that. Do you have any tips for our listeners about lessons learned from that experience about how they can do that and learn from your experience? 

12:17 If we could follow that thread a little further, I'm curious about how your communication has been with the clinical practice. I know that you mentioned you actually have three labs that you oversee. I know especially the cellular therapy lab has many connections with the clinical practice, a lot of co-dependence there when we're talking about transplant and cell therapy. What's that communication been like with the clinical practice?

18:03 I think there's lots of gems that you've laid out there for our listeners and really kind of a big part of this is keeping a humble, this inter-professional collaboration, whether it's working with your supervisors for staffing, communicating with clinical colleagues for  what they are expecting as far as volumes and maintaining those lines of communication for how things are going to change. With that, is there anything that you want to add that we haven't touched about?
