Hello everyone,
Things to note this week:
1. *YNiC will be closed 27th-29th of March for vital maintenance. *Some
scans will be operating in this period due to unexpected scanner downtime
but the facility will not be accepting new bookings and will not be open
for other users.
2. A number of YNiC forms have been updated. *Please ensure that you use
the latest forms from the YNiC website
<https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/docs/forms>* and, as usual, please read all
forms in full before signing.
Note that we will no longer start training operators until their PI/ line
manager signs to confirm that they have completed all statutory University
training.
3. We have provisionally scheduled our next *User Induction on Thursday the
4th of April at 10am*. Subject to availability and interest. Please ask
any relevant students/staff to email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up
if they intend to start using the centre.
4. The GE scanner is down for urgent maintenance, we will have GE
engineers in to replace the cold head during the closure, with
*normal service on GE expected to resume next week from Monday the 1st of
April. *
Best wishes,
Rich

Hi everyone
We have teaching in Open Plan on Tuesday and Friday this week between 12
and 4pm, there will be no access to open plan for anyone who is not
involved in this teaching.
Please be reminded that YNiC will be closed from Wednesday 27th to Friday
29th March for building and maintenance work. Siemens will be available as
normal on 25th March (the scheduled maintenance took place on 25th *Feb*, I
made an error in a previous email).
Finally, our next *YNiC user induction* will take place on *Wednesday 13th
March at 10am*. If you are aware of any students that will require an IT
account for YNiC, they must complete a User Induction first. Please ask
them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up for the next induction
date.
Hope you have a good week,
Lauren
