Friedemann Pulvermuller

21 Feb '07

Dear all, There will be a talk by Friedemann Pulvermüller (MRC-CBU) on Thursday the 1st of March at 4PM at the YNic. Dr. Pulvermüller will be teaching Advanced Neuroimaging to the master students (CNS) earlier in the day and has kindly agreed to give a second talk for a more general audience. Dr. Pulvermüller works in cognitive neuroscience of language and has written extensively on the topic. He has used fMRI, TMS and MEG techniques to ask question about both time course and localization of brain activity during language processing. He has also investigated neuropsychological issues such as aphasia. Here is a link to his website http://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/people/people-pages.php?id=105 Everybody is welcome.

Re Use of the Biocentre facilities at YNiC
by Gary Green 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Apologies to anyone who this may not concern. We have had another complaint from the receptionist of the Biocentre who is passing on the other tenants views. We are being asked not to use the kitchen facilities to socialise and there should be no more than two people in there at any one time. The other tenants are especially upset as the kettle has been broken and that we are using their coffee amongst other things. As you can imagine this has caused problems as the biocentre rely on the receptionist for catering for meetings. We rely on the goodwill of the receptionists in the Biocentre and problems of this kind could damage the long term benefits we get from working with them. Please can I ask users not to use the kitchen next to reception. There is a kitchen along the corridor in the glassed roof area. DO NOT use other people's milk/coffee/food/cutlery/bowls etc YNiC will put a kettle in the meeting room in the MRI corridor. While we are on the subject I would also like to add that YNIC has visits regularly and the standards of the open plan have started to drop dramatically again, I and other members of the team do not have time to clean up after users on a morning. The cleaners are not here to tidy up coffee cups etc, or rearrange furniture. Please leave the open plan area and desks as you find them ready for the next person. If you have cups with liquid still in you can empty this in the sink in MRI corridor. Please flush the fluids away after you.
