Disciplinary Committee
A user was recently observed committing safety and protocol violations. The safety violations included not wearing goggles while working in a solvent hood, not wearing solvent gloves while working in a solvent hood, and mishandling
acetone outside of a solvent hood. The procedural violation was touching microscopes while wearing solvent gloves.
Remember to always wear the proper PPE while working in our fume hoods, and do not wear solvent or acid gloves while touching equipment. Contaminants such as residual acid or photoresist can be transferred to handles and mechanisms
on equipment that can cause chemical exposure to subsequent users and/or malfunction of the equipment mechanisms.
Purdue’s Birck Nanotechnology Center has an exciting volunteer opportunity for students!
Participants will have the opportunity to:
·
Gain professional experience explaining scientific concepts to people from non-technical backgrounds.
·
Support the future of STEM programs by introducing grade schoolers and high school students to the miniscule world of atoms, molecules, and nanoscale forces.
·
Participate with other students/researchers in a nationwide festival celebrating nanotechnology science and education.
Since 2010, the Birck Nanotechnology Center at Discovery Park has participated in NISE NanoDays, a program that promotes science and technology education nationwide. Volunteers will
staff activity stations and assist visitors as they investigate different scientific concepts. Some example activities for 2017 include static electricity, DNA, and ultraviolet light. No prior knowledge is required to volunteer, just an enthusiasm for science
and science education.
Volunteers can attend any or all of the available shifts
(04/03/19 - 04/05/19). Free NanoDays T-shirt and food will be provided to Volunteers.
Training is mandatory and will be provided in the Birck atrium on
Tuesday, 04/02/19. A pizza party will be held from 5:00 PM to 5:30 PM, training will follow from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM, and unstructured familiarization with the activities can be done from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
If the training schedule does not work for you, or if you have any questions, you may contact volunteer coordinator Rich Hosler (hosler0@purdue.edu)
and Justin Wirth (jcwirth@purdue.edu)
Thanks you!

Parking Info
PRF has a conduit installation that will cause the North half of the West gravel lot to be closed on Tuesday February 26, 2019. The contractor will stake off the area Monday night to try and avoid any confusion come Tuesday Morning.
