Abstract
This chapter provides practical guidance for scientists starting or reorganizing a C. elegans research group. This includes advice on joining the C. elegans community, on setting up the laboratory for C. elegans work, and on putting into place effective strategies for running a productive and inclusive research group. Also discussed are strategies for managing the group, standard practices in the C. elegans field, lists of resources, and several sample handouts for new research group members.
