Dear All,
We have put together a provisional schedule for the YNiC seminars for
the academic year. The YNiC led seminars will occur on even weeks
during the autumn and spring terms. On the odd weeks we will have
seminars on an ad-hoc basis and will largely focus on project
presentations or presentations arranged by the YNiC Science Committee.
We have also scheduled training opportunities for scanner operators. We
would really like new PhD students and postdocs who will want to operate
the scanners to take these opportunities as they dovetail nicely into
our workload and MSc teaching and training. With that in mind, please
note that the first element of training will be held Thursday 28th
September.
The detailed schedule is attached.
Best wishes
Tony

Hello All,
This week we will be having induction sessions for our new intake of PhD
and MSc students between 9am and 1pm on Thursday. An introduction to the
IT systems will take place between 9am and 1pm on Friday. It will,
therefore, be busier than usual in open plan, so please take that into
account when planning your work at YNiC.
We are hoping to freshen up the posters at YNiC over the next week or so.
Could you bring us any spare, but relatively recent, posters that you would
like to have on display at YNiC?
Many thanks
Tony

Hello All,
Thanks to those of you who have reported issues arising after the IT
upgrade. We have managed to deal with the majority of them. A reminder
for those of you who haven't given your analysis or stimuli a spin for a
while to give them a go well in advance of needing them, so we can help
with any issues that arise.
Next week is the start of term and therefore ynic will be busy with
inductions and teaching. If you are here, please join us in welcoming our
new recruits.
Best wishes
Tony

Dear All,
A few updates:
1) Staff changes: Ross Devlin has now left YNiC. He will be having a
period of leave before taking up his new role at York Instruments. He has
given YNiC many years of valuable and helpful service for which we are all
very thankful.
2) A brief reminder that there will be no operator cover for any scanner on
Wednesday this week. We are undertaking some training that will look at
the documentation and processes we use to train operators for the Siemens
scanner.
3) Project booking limits: We have a standard limit of 7 hours per week per
project. We are aware however that such limits can constrain throughput on
projects. We can offer some flexibility on how much time can be booked if
we are given a period of time to plan. So, please get in touch should your
requirements for booking be greater than 7 hours per week.
Best wishes

Hello All,
1) Please test stimulus code and analysis streams you rely on and feedback
any errors (including the error report) through the IT system. Note that
it is not a safe assumption that all code will run perfectly after an IT
upgrade.
2) We will be closed from 1330 on Thursday.
3) Next Wednesday 13th September, we will be closed from midday to test out
training materials for the Siemens scanner.
Best wishes
