Recommended Resources

  • GitHub – great for versioning and project management. It's also a useful tool to compile group resources, like notes, links (conveniently placed in a README.md file or similar) and to make sure knowledge isn't lost - as long as your team remembers to commit. Importantly, it is free to use, and is the standard in many STEM disciplines.
  • Obsidian – for note-taking and knowledge management. Being able to take and organize notes digitally is very useful when your group is online, rather than sharing pictures of handwritten notes. There are many tools for this purpose, which you can find online, Obsidian is just a personal recommendation, and it is free (Syncing is not, but you should be uploading your notes to GitHub anyway).
  • Overleaf – for writing formal documents and research. If a member is experienced with LaTeX, then having an Overleaf page to formalize your work is incredibly useful for creating presentable work from your studies. It does support group collaboration, however this is a paid feature.
  • Email – works for some people, but can be quite isolating and disconnected. However I mention it here since it can be very useful for bigger group updates, as you can typically share content including attachments in one bulk email to all members. Aim to keep all attachments on GitHub if you use any, so that nothing is lost.
