Very basic standard size fridge in working order available to anyone who wants it (not for lab use). If interested tell me IMMEDIATELY! Also a large old style (cathode ray) 26 inch Sony TV in perfect working order. Very heavy!

Hi all- I’ve made a new style of Ordering sheet. Please be really neat when writing in it as it will also be used as the record of whether item has been Ordered and Received (new SAP has forced my hand!).
Also- if you order an item from me by email (can you also indicate on the sheet).
cheers, Andy.

It is free to attend (no registration etc). Plants, animals and other all represented. Pass along to friends, post-docs and PhD’s in your labs!

Hi all- waste and safety audit- comments from the auditors (I copy them below). A couple of issues came up which we need to address (1 and 2) but also a pat on the back for us all (3). Thanks for cooperating in order to make the lab safe and environmentally compliant cheers, Andy
“1)Almost all the sharps bins had pipette tips in them. One of the sharps bin had small glass bottles in – these should normally be disposed of in the glass bins.
2) The sharps bin in the gel room contained blades that had been replaced in their packaging. I would discourage staff from doing this – it is fiddly and could result in an accident.
3)The streaming of packing out of the offensive waste stream was excellent. – There was no packaging in either of the offensive waste bins or the sharps bins. Considering the size of the lab and the number of people working in it, this is quite an achievement!! “

Hi everyone,
A CD of Endnote X4 from 2010 (for Mac) is now available on the software folder next to Andy’s office.
The old version (Endnote 9 from 2005) remains there, but I think some of you would like to get update.
