Hello all, Just to let you know about a couple of busy periods in the open plan at YNiC next week. On the 22nd (Wednesday) there will be a group of ~10 school children at YNiC between 14:00 and 15:30 using some of the machines in open plan. They will be accompanied by a Calendar film crew so those of you who are camera shy may want to avoid the area. Alternatively of course, if you want your 5 minutes of fame as background scientition, feel free to look industrious. On the 23rd (Thursday, though you probably could have worked that out) the first of the MSc sessions will be held between 13:15 and 15:15. During this time open plan will be extremely busy, and there are unlikely to be machines available. I'd strongly advise you not to come in to YNiC in the afternoon until after they've finished, when you will of course be rushing in for the "Taking your research through to publication" seminar. Thanks, Sam
