Scifres opening -- please talk to your group.
by Bhave, Sunil A 27 Jun '20

27 Jun '20

Hello, I share a message from Birck and Scifres staff. Scifres will be opening on Monday by noon. Ron and his team will be conducting two web-forums to discuss the SOP and other lab etiquette and pitfalls with the Users. But I would like all of you to each call a your group to a meeting and discuss these things with your group in details. I strongly urge you to do that and not just forward the following to your students by email. —————————————————————————————— The biggest ‘violation’ of COVID protocol the staff has noticed over the last few weeks of test users is the lack of maintaining the 6’ spacing when interacting with others. So we will continue to promote the following: Maintain minimum 6’ spacing at all times. Developing this habit takes time and effort, and we will continue to remind individuals and emphasize the importance of this. The 6:00 – 10:00 am staff-only time supports this, allowing staff members to do equipment and process work without interruption and without exposure to others. The split staff shifts also promotes this and we will optimize and utilize this as much as possible. We’re trying to maintain physical distancing as well as social distancing. Microsoft Teams, Webex and email will be used to have discussions between staff and users as much as possible. These habits are difficult to develop so we will continue to emphasize physical and social distancing. If you happen to be participating in various user meetings over the next few weeks please help us by emphasizing this as well. Thanks, Ron ——————————————————————————————————————————— The image below is disappointing and depressing to me. After all the SOP discussions and all the social distancing warnings, we still see this a LOT. If this does not stop, we will have to start implementing stricter rules, protocols and penalties. thank you, Sunil.

Hello, Over the last 4 weeks we have run a pilot program of student users in the Scifres cleanroom. PIs with high burn-rates have participated in this program. At this point if you have Zero or 1 student approved for Scifres Pilot program, then please send me the name of 1 student you would like to get access to the Scifres cleanroom. I am looking for 1. experienced students who have clear-cut definitive goals to achieve 2. do not need any new equipment training 3. responsible with good temperature and excellent lab etiquette Please send me the student name and Purdue ID. I cannot guarantee for all PIs, but we will work hard to accomodate everyone. In general this is a rather stop-gap scenario, and we hope to get Birck and all shared lab SOPs approved soon. I expected this to happen today, but since it has not as of 11pm tonite, I am spending this email. Please send me names by 10am tomorrow morning. thank you, Sunil.

By using the link below you can order these masks and also get quantities of sanitizer and other PPE materials.

Research Space SOP from Protect Purdue
by Bhave, Sunil A 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

Hello, Protect Purdue has posted the campus wide SOP for research labs. When you prepared an SOP and submitted it to Ron, and I had indicated that there may be some repetition. Well here it is. We will keep the SOP that you prepared for our Birck records. You must fill out this web version and submit. This includes all the critical research users…includes every PI and every lab. https://protect.purdue.edu/research/covid-research-space-safe-operating-pro… <https://protect.purdue.edu/research/covid-research-space-safe-operating-pro…> Please have the document filled out and submitted. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact the building engineer for your lab or reach out to Ron, Steve and other staff members as appropriate. In the mean time Ali is trying to 1. see if the original SOPs may be sufficient and 2. can Birck get higher priority in building/lab approvals. If and when there is an update, I am sure he will let everyone know. thank you, Sunil.
