Hello,
Please see details below regarding upcoming inductions, training sessions, this week's Seminar, our YNiC Social event, and potential disruption in open plan.
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 3rd of December, at 10:00am. 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 4th 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.
Seminar: Wednesday, 11am at YNiC
YNiC Social: 11th December at 11am
During the last week of the semester, we will be holding a small YNiC social event. It would be wonderful to see the many researchers who have been using the centre this Semester. Please join us for a mince-pie and some light-hearted fun, festive attire is welcomed (but not mandatory) 🎄
Potential Disruption in Open Plan
This
week there will be PAT testing happening throughout the centre. There
may be some disruption to Open Plan, however we hope this will be
minimal. MRI and MEG will be unaffected, so there will be no disruption
to any planned scans.
YNiC Fob Access
We are still in the process of deactivating YNiC fobs
associated with individuals who no longer use the centre. We will do
our very best to ensure that fobs currently in use are not affected,
however there is the chance your fob may get deactivated if it has not
been named on the system correctly, or has been passed between
individuals. If your fob no longer works, we can reactivate it straight
away, please just ask at reception or a member of staff.
YNiC Drop-In - Wednesday afternoons
On Wednesday afternoons, there will be a YNiC research
tech (or two) working out in open plan. If you are struggling with
something, or would prefer to ask for help in person, this would be the perfect time to come and work over in YNiC, have a chat and get some help :)
(This is in addition to our usual support ticketing system, and of course you can come and knock on the office door at any time!)
Have a great week!
Many thanks,
