Good afternoon everyone
24 hour access
Many of you will be pleased to know that YNiC users will now have 24hr access to open plan. If you use the building after 5pm or before 8:30am, please use the main YNiC entrance, and the toilet that is in that entrance hall (between YNiC and CHyM).
You will need to have both your YNiC fob AND your University card with you to get into the building - use your University card on the black card reader on the outside door, and then use your YNiC fob as usual on all other YNiC doors.
Please be reminded that we keep a First Aid kit on the bookshelf to the right of the coffee machine, and that you can call security if you need emergency assistance on 01904 323333 - this number will be on display on the notice board.
We will review this access over the coming weeks; if you have any questions or concerns please contact
support@ynic.york.ac.uk (operators will receive a separate email shortly detailing the new key-holder process).
YNiC Science Social
The next Science Social will be given by Andre Gouws, on "Optimising FSL and a few other tricks to make data processing easier, more efficient and less problematic", and will take place this
Thursday 12th March at 4pm. At the Science Social events we have pizza and drinks, so we look forward to seeing many of you there!

Closure:
Over the Easter period we will have a 'soft closure' from Thursday 2nd April until Friday 17th April. During this time there will be no operator cover provided and no user
support, but users are still welcome to use open plan and book the
scanners in the non-operator covered slots.
Please
be reminded that teaching will take place in YNiC open plan at 9am-1pm this Wednesday. During this time, the area
will be closed to anybody not involved in the teaching.
Level 0 operator Training:
Our next scheduled Level
0 training session will take place after the closure on Wednesday 22nd April at 9:30am. 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.
All users that wish to be operator
trained must have First Aid training. Please ensure that this has been
completed, or is booked in, before contacting us to arrange training.
Email
support@ynic.york.ac.uk
if you have any questions or wish to book on to this session, and
include which scanner you wish to be trained on. Please note that
places are limited and are 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 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 date will be Wednesday 18th March at 10am. Please ask
them to contact
support@ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up.
Hope you have a good week!
Cheers
Lauren
