Hi everyone,
After two years and a half in Sheffield and at APS, it is now time for me to leave, moving further south to London and when enough readapted to heat settling down in Montpellier in France. It has been a really great time working and interacting with you and I would like to thank you very much for this. To say goodbye, I was thinking it would be nice to have lunch at the Dam House in Crooke Valley Park this Friday from 12.00 for those who can make it. Please, let me know if you want to join so that I can book if necessary.
For those of you who will not be very hungry or are more late birds, I will also be at the interval from 17.00 for a drink!
I hope to see you on Friday!
Cheers,
Carole

“You will have probably heard reports in the media that nationally the number of cases of swine flu is increasing. The confirmed number of cases in this region and in the University is still relatively low.
However, it is important to be vigilant so we’d like to remind all staff of the information and advice on the University’s swine flu web pages which have just been updated: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/swineflu
These pages include general information about the virus and advice on what you should do if you think you have developed swine flu symptoms. There are also useful links to external sources of information such as the NHS, the Health Protection Agency and the new Pandemic Flu helpline.
If you have any concerns please speak to your line manager or contact swineflu@sheffield.ac.uk”

Scitable from Nature Publishing Group was created for faculty and students in Biology, Genetics, and other related fields. Scitable, which currently focuses exclusively on the field of genetics, is built on a free library of overviews of key science concepts compiled by the editorial staff of Nature Publishing Group. Scitable’s evidence-based approach explains science through the lens of the scientific method, with frequent links to milestone research papers.

…when using the Starlab 8-tube strips for DNA extraction DO NOT attempt to rotate in the oven. You must incubate horizontally and mix gently (with close supervision to see that there is no leakage). It may be necessary to ‘bleed’ the pressure inside the tubes (but beware of bubbles contaminating other samples).
cheers

Since several of us will be graduating on Monday, we are planning to go for drinks (probably at the Interval) followed by curry at the Mogul Room (Sharrowvale Road), followed by more drinks at the Lescar. Everyone is welcome and please definitely mention it to anyone else you know who is graduating. Sign up on the board or email me (a.llewellyn@shef.ac.uk) if you would like to come along for the meal and I’ll try to get it booked on friday. Hope lots of you can make it.

Hi all,
you may remember Merche who visited last year from Univ of Granada who is working on magpies. She will visit the molecular ecology lab from end of July to mid September and will be coming with her partner and baby daughter. They could share a house if necessary but ideally would find a house.
If you can help, please contact Merche: merche@ugr.es
