Dear YNiC researchers,
I'm pleased to say we have just been awarded an internal equipment
renewal grant to replace the majority of our PCs in YNiC (stimulus and
open plan PCs), purchase a decent chunk of central storage, and a few
other bits and bobs. This will be purchased and rolled out between now
and July 2025. This should massively improve things at YNiC, so I'm
really grateful to all who contributed to the application but biggest
thanks to Joe Lyons. We'll obviously try to keep disruption to a
minimum, but there is a lot of new devices to setup etc so please bear
with us during this time.
Have a good Winter Break/Christmas/New Year. We look forward to
supporting all the awesome neuroscience you have planned in 2025!
Best wishes,
Aidan

*YNiC Social: 11th December at 11am*
We will be holding a YNiC social event on Wednesday at 11am. It would be
wonderful to see the many researchers who have been using the centre this
Semester. Please join us for a mince-pie and some light-hearted fun,
festive attire is welcomed (but not mandatory) 🎄
*YNiC Drop-In - Wednesday afternoons*
On Wednesday afternoons, there will be a YNiC research tech (or two)
working out in open plan. If you are struggling with something, or would
prefer to ask for help in person, this would be the perfect time to come
and work over in YNiC, have a chat and get some help :)
(This is in addition to our usual support ticketing system, and of course
you can come and knock on the office door at any time!)
Have a great week!
Many thanks,
Jennifer
