Lab use this week

by Edward Inglis

Dear all, Looking at the booking sheet I can see that there is nobody booked in to use the lab this week. In which case I will close the lab on Wednesday afternoon and prepare some of the instruments for festive hibernation period. If anybody desperately needs to use the lab on Thursday and Friday of this week then please reply to this email ASAP and let me know. Otherwise the lab will be closed from 3pm on Wednesday 20th Dec and reopen on Wednesday 3rd Jan 2024. Remember to use the new booking sheet for the new year… (https://cf.sharepoint.com/:x:/r/teams/CELTIC/Shared%20Documents/General/Lab…) Cheers, Edward — Dr. Edward Inglis Office 2.26A School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Cardiff University Main Building, Park Place Cardiff CF10 3AT Office: +44 (0)29 2087 79469 Lab: +44 (0)29 2087 74326 Email: inglise(a)cardiff.ac.uk [page1image2912240.png]

Lab related things :)

by Edward Inglis

Dear all, Firstly, thanks to those that turned up to clean the labs yesterday. It's in much better shape now thanks to your team effort :) Secondly, there is a new booking sheet for the new year as the old one was getting too cluttered and glitchy. There are tabs along the bottom for the chemistry rooms and instruments. For the chemistry rooms please include your name, the procedure and name of HF buddy and responder if doing HF work. For the instruments your name(s) and procedure is all thats required. I’ve pinned the booking sheet to the top of the teams channel and the link is here (Lab booking 2024 - .xlsx<https://cf.sharepoint.com/:x:/r/teams/CELTIC/Shared%20Documents/General/Lab…>). Please don't book beyond the red line. Thirdly, we will have a lab meeting on Monday 8th at 10am in 1.58. I’ll organise some coffee and cake for this one seeing as it’s the first one back after the new year. I'd also like to include a 20 min tech/applications talk in these fortnightly meetings moving forward so if anyone would like to volunteer then let please me know. Fourthly, there is a leak coming from the floor in the multi collector room. If you are in there and notice a puddle forming please use the mop and bucket to clean it up. When it gets too much I will give the order to abandon ship. Fifthly, thanks all for your hard work and patience this year. I think you will all agree it’s not been straightforward and we have faced some issues in the lab but we have also welcomed lots of new people and instruments and made some exciting measurements. Let’s see if 2024 can be even better! Merry Christmas and happy new year :) Cheers, Edward — Dr. Edward Inglis Office 2.26A School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Cardiff University Main Building, Park Place Cardiff CF10 3AT Office: +44 (0)29 2087 79469 Lab: +44 (0)29 2087 74326 Email: inglise(a)cardiff.ac.uk [page1image2912240.png]

Lab cleaning

by Edward Inglis

Dear all, The cleaning rota for the new year has been updated. Please follow the link and also below. The instructions on how to clean the lab are also located in Teams. You should allow 1 hour each to clean the lab. Areas like the step over and ante rooms also need cleaning. If you cannot clean when you are down to please swap amongst yourself and update the spreadsheet. Attendance at cleaning has been appalling the last few months and currently the lab is filthy. Last week it was just myself, Lizan and Ana that showed up to clean. I would like as many people as possible to attend tomorrow afternoon at 2pm to clean. As a reminder it is your blanks and subsequently data that will suffer if the lab is not kept clean. The dycem mats should be cleaned daily. Bins should be emptied when they are full. Full bin bags should be taken up to the big wheelie bins outside and not just dumped by the lab door as I saw had happened this week. https://cf.sharepoint.com/:x:/r/teams/CELTIC/Shared%20Documents/General/Cel… See you all tomorrow, Edward — Dr. Edward Inglis Office 2.26A School of Earth and Environmental Sciences Cardiff University Main Building, Park Place Cardiff CF10 3AT Office: +44 (0)29 2087 79469 Lab: +44 (0)29 2087 74326 Email: inglise(a)cardiff.ac.uk [page1image2912240.png]

Hi all, Note estates need roof access to replace fan units in the 13th, 14th and 15th Dec. This will take 1.21 out of action for those dates.

TIMS delivery next week

by Edward Inglis

Dear all, Just a reminder that next Wednesday the TIMS will be delivered and moved into the lab. It’s a complex operation involving a crane lift into the basement from the car park. Access to the lab will be blocked at several points throughout the day so if you lab work is non urgent then please consider moving it to a different day. It would be helpful for us to have as few people as possible in the lab on Wednesday.
