Hi everyone

I've just got a couple of reminders for you today.

*Monthly Science Social Seminar:* The next Science Social will be on MEG data processing using Brainstorm, and will take place this* Thursday 6th February at 4pm*. At the Science Social events we have pizza and drinks, so we look forward to seeing many of you there!

For a list of the upcoming Thursday sessions, please visit https://www.ynic.york.ac.uk/events/thursday-sessions.

*Open Plan Teaching:* Please be reminded that teaching will be taking place in YNiC open plan at 12-4pm on Friday this week. During these times, the area will be closed to anybody not involved in the teaching.

*Level 0 operator Training:* Our next scheduled Level 0 training session will take place on Wednesday 11th March at 10am-12pm. 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, 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.

All operators must attend an 'Emergency First Aid at Work' one-day 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 attend training on the same day, at a location of your choice.

*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 date will be Wednesday 12th February at 10am. Please ask them to contact support@ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up.

Hope you have a great week! Kind regards Lauren
