Open question for PIs: How did you choose to name your group? Did you go with your last name? Something else? Why? I'm not a huge fan of using my last name, but don't know what other options would be easily recognizable in the field while centering the work (rather than me).
@genandgenes Last name is limiting. Our GEARs group has 4 faculty so the Fallin group makes no sense. Genes and Environment in Autism Research is not perfect but covers most of what we do. @GnomeChris
@FallinDani @genandgenes @GnomeChris Agree. Genes & ID made much more sense than a PI name. And it reflects our work.
@priya4genes @FallinDani @genandgenes @GnomeChris Similarly "Program in Molecular and Genetic Epidemiology" --> "Program in Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical Genetics" reflects our work and encompasses multiple investigators with overlapping interests & trainees.
