Update
by Antony Morland 09 Sep '16

09 Sep '16

Dear All, Many of the routine updates to our IT provision have been successfully completed. We will complete the remaining jobs next week. These involve the stimulus PCs. The cluster is currently down. This is an issue that is unrelated to the routine updates and is being dealt with by HP engineers. Thanks, Paul, for installing these important updates. As I wrote previously, please report any issues that arise in your use of the IT system here (other than the cluster issue, which we know about). This will help us resolve them speedily. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD. Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Temporary closures for essential maintenance
by Antony Morland 02 Sep '16

02 Sep '16

Dear All, A few things to update you on that will be occurring at YNiC over the next couple of weeks. During the weeks commencing 5th September and 12th September we will be performing essential IT maintenance. This is the normal annual procedure to install updates (as specified below). It will impact on access to the centre and its IT provision as follows. 1) We will be closing the centre from 5pm, Monday 6th September through to 9am, Wednesday 7th September. There will be no access to computing during this period. 2) For the week commencing 12th September we will have a ‘soft’ closure. You may come to the centre, but your work may be disrupted by maintenance of hardware and software. It may also be a period during which we have to close the centre at short notice. We should be able to honour scanner bookings during the fortnight, but again there may be instances when we have to cancel them at short notice. OVERVIEW OF UPDATES: We will be updating our desktop and stimulus PC images. This will mean that software versions will change. We make every effort to check that these have minimal impact on researchers’ ability to run their analysis and stimulus code. However, once our updates are made please check your use of software to ensure it still works. Thank you for your patience Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Dear Colleagues I have just, 7.30pm on the 31st, packed my last box of papers and am about to vacate my office. Tomorrow, Professor Tony Morland will become the new Director of the York Neuroimaging Centre and Professor Alex Wade will be the Deputy Director I am sure you will join me in welcoming them to their new roles and in wishing them a very successful future. I have had a fantastic time as Director for the last 13 years and 9 months. I am moving into new roles to work on newly funded research into molecular imaging in humans and the associated hardware to accomplish it. I could not have done this job with out the staff at YNiC and I would like to publicly acknowledge my sincere thanks for them being such wonderful colleagues. We also could not have done this without you - the Users. You have made it tremendously exciting. A lot of science has been carried out. Over 300 projects with over 700 Users, have scanned over 4000 people. Thank you I am not going far - CHyM and the new clinical imaging facilities in York and Leeds, so I hope to meet you all from time to time. best wishes Gary -- --------------- Gary Green York Neuroimaging Centre & Centre for Hyperpolarisation in Magnetic Resonance The Biocentre York Science Park Innovation Way Heslington York YO10 5NY tel +44 (0) 1904 435349 fax +44 (0) 1904 435356 mobile +44 (0) 788 191 3004 http://www.ynic.york.ac.uk http://www.york.ac.uk/chym/ https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/about-us/people/ggrg

Lighting at YNiC
by Antony Morland 24 Aug '16

24 Aug '16

Hello All, You may have already been alerted to this, but I wanted to let you know that the overhead lighting at YNiC is being replaced today. It is not too disruptive - I am finding it straightforward to work in open plan. However, there may be occasions when you will be asked to move so the two fitters can gain access to a specific ceiling panel. Best wishes Tony -- Antony Morland, PhD Head of the Centre for Neuroscience, Hull-York Medical School. Deputy Director, York Neuroimaging Centre Department of Psychology, University of York, York YO10 5DD, UK.

Dear colleagues I am having a clear out before I migrate to another place. The table in my room has piles of books that are now probably not going to be read by me again. Feel free to help yourselves. The ones on my shelf I might read again, or need, so please leave these for now.
