Hi Everyone,

Just a few announcements this week; we are continuing to schedule regular training sessions and this week we resume the eagerly-awaited YNiC Thursday afternoon seminars!

Before that, a reminder: *Forms containing confidential information must be disposed of appropriately, unused safety forms with participant information should be returned to reception where they will be disposed of securely - do not throw them in the bin.*

*YNiC Thursday Seminar* The first Seminar will be held on *Thursday 3rd February* at *4pm* via Zoom, with a presentation from Dr David Watson.

*"Reconstructing cortical gradients from functional connectivity during naturalistic viewing*" I will send a reminder on the day.

*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 16th February 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 10th February at 13:00*. 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.*

Cheers,
