Dear Birck Research Community, There has been further clarification of the new mask policy and direction as it pertains to the Birck center. Effective Friday, February 18th Birck will require all users to wear a mask upon entering any laboratory, the cleanroom, and any conference room. For all other space(s) in Birck you have the option of wearing or not wearing a mask. With this policy of having some areas requiring masks and others not, please remember to carry your mask with you for entering lab spaces and conference rooms These guidelines have been set by REM, and we appreciate your cooperation. Please let us know if you have any questions and/or concerns. Ron Reger
