Hello Everyone,

YNiC Closure
YNiC will be closed between the 19th of December and 9th of January. This will include access to the scanners, user support and open plan. The remote desktop will remain available throughout this time period (users will be notified if any planned maintenance to the remote desktop will stop access).

Changes to Procedures
Participants are no longer required to sign the 'Covid Consent Form' when taking part in experiments at YNiC.

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 10th of January, at 10:00.  Please ask them to contact support@ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up.

Level 0 operator training
The next L0 training session will be held on Wednesday the 14 of December, 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@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 Seminar
YNiC Seminars will resume in the new year! If you would like to present your work, please email support@ynic.york.ac.uk.

Many thanks,
Jennifer
