Good Morning everyone

I hope you are all keeping well and looking after yourselves.

With the recent variability in weather we've experienced some issues with our air handling unit in the GE scanner, so as a precaution the system is currently down until the necessary parts are received and installed. Since we're still in lockdown, this will not result in any 'loss of scanning', but we hope to have everything back up and running as soon as we can. We are still performing regular essential maintenance to ensure the centre is in good shape and ready for us to continue with research once we are in a position to do so.

*Logging out of the Remote Desktop* We would like to remind users about the importance of *logging out* to end remote desktop sessions at the end of the day. You should treat the remote desktop in the same way as the open plan PCs: save your work and log out as you normally would once you finish for the day (i.e. Applications > Log Out) - once you've logged out your session should automatically terminate, but if not, you should also terminate the session on the x2go client.

Any remote desktop sessions that have been suspended (not opened or used) for more than ten days will be terminated to free up space.

*Support* If you have any questions or need assistance, no matter how minor, please send an email to support@ynic.york.ac.uk, rather than to specific individuals, as this will be the best way to get help quickly.

*YNiC Journal Club - Thursday 4pm* This week the talk we will be watching together will be another from the OHBM archive.

We will all join a zoom meeting (details below), and one of the YNiC staff will host the video for everyone to watch together - we can then pause during the talk if necessary, add comments in the zoom chat, or just discuss it at the end. Note that there is no pressure to have your mic or video on at any time during or after the talk (you also don't need to watch it in advance).
