 Note, if you belong to any organizations (like from your dept or lab), you may need to change the project URL to your user instead of the organization.
 It will automatically assign the "Project slug" (aka the end of the url for that project) to be the same as the project name.
 If you use spaces in your project name, it will replace them with `-` in your project slug.
