All group members should often communicate with Cesar and the group. For administrative stuff (paperwork to sign, remote work and vacation notifications, etc), you should email Cesar directly. For technical and scientific discussion (technical python questions, interesting papers and scientific talks, etc) we should try our best to use the group's workspace on Microsoft Teams. Among other things, Teams has the advantage of allowing us to easily share copy-and-paste ready bits of code among the group (we may also use Github for that purpose). Cesar checks Teams twice a day (morning and afternoon) to see if there are any questions that require his attention.
Cesar typically checks his email two times a day (morning and afternoon), so you should expect a one-day reponse turnaround during the week. For urgent matters, please call his office or personal phone.
You are not expected to check your email or Teams very often. In fact, Cesar recommends that you develop productive email and slack habits, because the kind of work we do requires concentration. This email hygiene involves NOT working with your inbox open and de-activating notifications. If I need something urgent from you, I will come to your office (if you are working on campus) or call you (if you are working remotely).
You are not expected to check your email or Teams on weekends and holidays.
