[Bmeroundtable-list] School-Wide Teams
by Crystal D O'Neal 06 Apr '26

06 Apr '26

Good morning all, Late Saturday night, there was a major glitch/issue with Teams. The entire Teams group was "deleted," and everyone lost access (myself included). The reasoning for this was due to a new Microsoft update that occurred University-wide and was in no way a security breach or anything like that. I was able to restore it from Microsoft 365, but I've been notified that a few people did not have access after it was restored. If you can no longer see the School-Wide Teams, please reach out to me, and I will get you re-added to the group and the proper channels. If you are looking for particular files/cannot access proper files, please let me know that as well, and I will work on trying to restore those and provide you with access (at this point in time, from what I can see, everything is here - but let me know if not!). Happy Monday! Sincerely, Crystal O'Neal Administrative Manager Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering 206 South Martin Jischke Drive, Room 3003C| West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 cdoneal(a)purdue.edu<mailto:cdoneal@purdue.edu> [cid:image001.jpg@01DCC5AA.CF672D70] [https://res.public.onecdn.static.microsoft/assets/bookwithme/misc/CalendarP…] <https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/1b43da6f85ea41e584c7489a6a7f9898…> Book time to meet with me<https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/1b43da6f85ea41e584c7489a6a7f9898…> -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list

[Bmeroundtable-list] REMINDER: Security and Operational Update: Please post signage in your areas and pass along this information to others for their awareness
by Rhonda Wolf Jones 06 Apr '26

06 Apr '26

We are preparing to migrate your doors to the LenelS2 NetBox door access control system the week of April 6-10, 2026. Important reminders for students (undergraduate and graduate): * Students are Mobile First for building access. * Even if a student currently has a physical card, replacement cards will not be issued unless their phone is not capable of supporting Mobile Credentials. * Students should activate Mobile Credentials before the S2 migration to avoid losing access. Why are we changing the readers? This upgrade improves overall security, reliability, and consistency across campus, supports modern mobile access, and allows for better system management and future enhancements. The older cards and readers are no longer compatible with these improvements. We appreciate your help in spreading the word and encouraging early action. Taking care of this now will prevent access issues once the new system is live. Thank you for your ongoing partnership, cooperation, and support as we modernize Purdue's access systems. For additional information, please check out the ID Card Operations / Support website<https://www.purdue.edu/treasurer/finance/card/> or submit a ticket to transact(a)purdue.edu<mailto:transact@purdue.edu>. FAQs If I use my Purdue Mobile ID will I still need to replace my physical ID? * No. If you have an active Purdue Mobile ID, you will not need to replace your physical card for door access. Will doors still open if someone swipes their magstripe instead of tapping? * No. If a user attempts to swipe, the reader will Flash red and Deny access. This is expected behavior and helps reinforce the transition to contactless use. Will all Transact readers across campus only use contactless technology by Spring 2026? * Yes. All readers connected to the Transact and LenelS2 systems will use contactless credential technology only. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list

[Bmeroundtable-list] Emergency Response
by Rhonda Wolf Jones 03 Apr '26

03 Apr '26

Thank you to everyone in MJIS today for evacuating quickly when the fire alarms sounded-you did exactly what you should. When that alarm goes off, evacuate immediately and move past the sidewalks so emergency personnel have clear access to the building. Please also remember that elevators will not operate during an alarm. This is also a good time to review tornado safety. When exterior tornado sirens activate, it means a tornado has been sighted in the area. You may also receive alerts on your phone or Purdue computer. In this situation, do not go outside. Move immediately to the basement. Because MJIS has a lot of glass, it's especially important to get to a safe interior space. If you cannot reach the basement, go to a restroom or an interior stairwell-areas without windows-and stay there until you receive an all-clear on your device. Boiler Up!

FW: Funding Opportunities for Your PhD Students, Postdocs, Faculty — HHMI Competitions Open This Fall
by Rhonda Wolf Jones 02 Apr '26

02 Apr '26

This fall, HHMI will award up to $500,000/year for early career faculty and $65,000/year for PhD students through two open competitions. We welcome applications from faculty and students in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University, so please help us spread the word! As the nation's largest private funder of biomedical research, HHMI supports exceptional scientists at every career stage. We are actively seeking applicants from all backgrounds and institutions, and we encourage anyone doing promising work in the life sciences to apply. Early Career Faculty and Senior Postdocs The Freeman Hrabowski Scholars Program<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hhmi.…> offers one of the most substantial funding packages for early career faculty available anywhere in the life sciences: $500,000/year in research funding for up to 10 years, plus full HHMI salary and benefits. This kind of stable, sustained support can be transformative for a scientific career. Faculty within seven years of their first appointment and postdocs within two years of seeking an independent faculty position are eligible to apply. Those selected as postdocs become Hanna H. Gray Fellows<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hhmi.…> until they are appointed as faculty. We will select up to 50 scientists this year. The competition opens November 3, 2026. PhD Students The Gilliam Fellows Program<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hhmi.…> supports PhD students with a $50,000 stipend plus an annual professional development allowance for up to three years, with an opportunity for four additional years of postdoctoral support (starting salary $80,000/year) at any eligible lab in the country. Notably, the program also invests in the mentorship development of their PhD advisors. Both students and advisors benefit from tailored professional development programming, and Fellows become part of HHMI’s vibrant multigenerational scientific community. Graduate students in the second and third year of their PhD are eligible to apply. We plan to select 80 Fellows from institutions across the country. The competition opens September 1, 2026. Full application details will be available this summer on our website<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hhmi.…>. In the coming months, HHMI will also host Q&A sessions about both competitions.
