Dear all,

1) The Deputy VC & Provost, Professor Saul Tendler, will be visiting YNiC between 09:30 and 10:30 on Thursday the 20th of April. Please feel free to join us here at the center and showcase your research.

2) The Siemens scanner is now use and a couple of projects are being used to finalize our data acquisition and processing streams, as well as develop our training program. As such we are on schedule to meet our target date to start using the scanner routinely.

3) Reminder: the open-plan area at YNiC will be open for use next week (w/c 10 April) but that no user support will be available as the team will be working on consolidating a number of outstanding issues and internal development projects.

4) Housekeeping: Although we want you to feel "at home" when you're here at YNiC, please be professional. Specific examples this week include (1) always wear shoes when you're in the center (don't walk around in bare feet or socks) and (2) do not use the clinical patient preparations areas (especially the one on the MRI corridor) as communal kitchens.
