Direct Email to Birck Engineering In an effort to provide better service to our customers (the student, staff, and faculty user-community of the Birck Nanotechnology Center) we have established a new email for suggestions, complaints, recommendations for improvements & operationing efficiency, safety related issues, etc. This new email, birckengineering@purdue.edu<mailto:birckengineering@purdue.edu> , will go directly to engineering management and the identity of the sender will be held in strictest confidence. The intent of this new email is to allow the Birck user community to air grievances, complaints, and suggestions to make our engineering operations better. If you see an opportunity for improvement, or have a suggestion for a more streamlined operation, please share it through this email. Answers will be provided with as much expediency as possible, and the identity of the sender will not be revealed, so please use this to 'open up' about our procedures, processes, priorities, and performance (the 4-P's). We can't address issues if we don't know them, so we're encouraging faculty, staff, and students to use this new email mechanism to bring issues to light. Thanks for helping us improve our operations and our customer service. Ron ________________________________ Dear Fellow Scientists, The 3D Cell Culture Core (3D3C) facility is proposing a first hands-on training workshop for visualization of 3D cell cultures on November 17 and 18, 2016. The workshop will cover some basic techniques for immunolabeling and dye staining and microscope observation of live and fixed 3D cell cultures. For details on the content, please see below and the flyer attached. The prerequisite for the workshop is REM biosafety training and blood-borne-pathogen training; sufficient knowledge in basic cell culture techniques is recommended. If you are interested in the workshop, please contact me for information and registration. The workshop is limited to SIX participants. The deadline for registration is October 28, 2016. Sincerely, Tim Kwok Facility Manager 3D Cell Culture Core (3D3C) Facility Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University ________________________________ [cid:image002.jpg@01D223D6.C8C1C000][cid:image006.jpg@01D223D6.C8C1C000][cid:image008.jpg@01D223D6.C8C1C000] [cid:image012.png@01D223D6.C8C1C000]
