This Week at YNiC

Hi everyone As you know, we are closed to users from today, and we will reopen on Friday 3rd January. The remote desktop will be under maintenance until Wednesday, and so there will be intermittent access to the system during this period; we will send out an announcement once it is fully available again. *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 *Wednesday 8th January at 10am*. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. *Level 0 operator training:* Our next scheduled Level 0 training session will take place on *Tuesday 7th January at 1pm*. 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, and include which scanner you wish to be trained on. *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.* *First Aid Training Requirement for Operators* All Level 0 operators must attend an 'Emergency First Aid at Work' one-day training course. We will enforce this requirement from March 2020, to give current Level 0 users time to arrange the training course. Courses should be organised by the project PI with a relevant training provider (e.g. St Johns Ambulance, Red Cross); these providers can also run group training sessions (8 or more people) on-site, so labs may wish to coordinate their operators to all attend training on the same day, at a location of your choice. Hope you all have a lovely Christmas break. See you in the New Year!
