Hi all Just a couple of reminders for you this week, plus a project presentation: *Project Presentation - Thursday 4pm:*This week we have a project presentation from Bronte McKeown on Thursday 20th Feb at 4pm in YNiC open plan, titled: "Exploring differences in neural activity between left of bang and right of bang threatening situations". Talks are followed by refreshments. We hope to see 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 this Tuesday and Friday. During these times, the area will be closed to anybody not involved in the teaching. *Reminder - First Aid Training:* 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. *We will be enforcing this requirement from 1st March 2020*. Any operator (including L0) who does not have a valid First Aid Certificate will not be permitted to act as an operator until YNiC has the certificate on file. *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(a)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. *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 26th February at 10am. Please ask them to contact support(a)ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up. Hope you have a great week!
