We open the black box of what seem like mundane laboratory practices: choosing author order on papers (episode 1), choosing the values that guide the lab (episode 2), and how we run lab meetings (episode 3). The films show that these activities are far from mundane, but are the main vehicals for equity, humility, accountability, and the creation of a lab collective. Our goal: to do science differently, in ways that do not replicate existing power dynamics. While the methods in the Laboratory Life series will not always be directly replicable in other labs, we hope that their spirit is transferable. Also: these methods are intellectual products of CLEAR. We are a methods lab. If you do use these methods, please cite them as research products. Citational information is at the end of each film.

How do we assign author order in a way that is humble, equitable, and accountable to the different types of labour that go into collaborative publications?
