Communication

The Research Sprint team will primarily be communicating with you via Slack during the Sprint. We encourage you to connect with one another directly and exchange emails, telephone numbers, or usernames for your preferred communication channels. You can also email the Research Sprint team at researchsprint@cyber.harvard.edu with general questions. If you have something you want to discuss privately, please email Valerie Gomez at vgomez@cyber.harvard.edu or your Output Track Lead.
