Hi Everyone,

*SAFETY NOTICE - please note that for better access, the defibrillator in YNiC has been relocated to the waiting area opposite the reception desk, directly beneath the television.*

Please see below for information regarding first aid training requirements for operators, our regularly scheduled training sessions, and opportunities to present your work in the autumn term.

*First aid training* While remote first aid training courses were accepted while COVID restrictions prevented in-person training, *all future first aid training courses for YNiC operators must be attended in-person.*

*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 Wednesday the 7th of September, 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 Thursday the 8th of September, 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* We will continue the seminar series in the autumn term after a short summer hiatus. If you are interested in giving a Thursday afternoon seminar to share your work, please get in touch at support@ynic.york.ac.uk.

Cheers,

Rich
