This week at YNiC

Hi all, Please take particular note of a change to the general consent form described below. *Change to the YNiC General Consent form* *The general consent form has been updated to specifically request 'Sex as assigned at birth', where we previously requested 'Sex'. *This clarification has been made to provide the appropriate data for MRI operators to enter in the scanner to maintain participant safety. Please let a member of YNiC staff know if your general consent details need updating for any reason. *YNiC User Inductions* If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. Our next induction will be on *Tuesday the 14th of March, at 10:00*. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. *Level 0 operator training* *The next L0 training session will be held on Wednesday the 5th of April, 13:00-15:00. * Please note that users requesting Level 0 training should be a PhD, RA/Postdoc, or staff, and should already have a project proposal submitted to YNiC. Please email support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk if you have any questions or wish to book on to this session. Please note that sessions are limited to 4 trainees, which will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Training must be booked at least a week before the session date, in order to reserve the scanner booking. *YNiC Seminars* Our monthly YNiC seminar series continue on *Thursday the 6th of April* with a talk from *Dr Tirso Gonzalez. *This talk will be held at YNiC at 4pm and over zoom.
