Judges needed for the Lafayette Regional Science and Engineering Fair- Friday 3/8/2019

Judges needed for the Lafayette Regional Science and Engineering Fair- Friday 3/8/2019 Hello! Would you be willing to act as a judge at the 2019 Lafayette Regional Science and Engineering Fair on Friday, March 8? If you are receiving this message, it means you are eligible to volunteer as a judge in the 2019 Lafayette Regional Science and Engineering Fair on March 8. This year, we have over 600 young experimentalists (5-12 graders) eagerly awaiting a chance to share their projects with “real scientists”. The fair is only a few weeks away, so right now they are putting the final touches on their posters and practicing their talks. We are always in need of many judges to handle the large volume of students. That’s where you come in. For those who may have done this in the past you remember how it was the first time you judged- so many abstracts and projects to look at! Because of this, we need lots of help to give these students a great science fair experience. Judging really is a lot of fun, and not terribly difficult since the kids are high school age or younger. Please come out and help support this event! As always, a complimentary buffet dinner in the Purdue Memorial Union will precede judging in Stewart Center. You will receive follow up instructions regarding exact times and locations, but typically dinner begins around 4:30 pm and judging begins at 6 pm. If you would like to judge this year, please fill out the following survey: https://goo.gl/forms/tbPPj5a8d4EbcoYF2 Feel free to email me at lrsciencefair2019(a)gmail.com<mailto:lrsciencefair2019@gmail.com> with any specific questions or concerns not covered in the survey. Detailed instructions will go out closer to the time of the event. I hope you can make it! We have a record number of projects again this year and need all the judges we can get. Best Regards, Gillian Barth (lrsciencefair2019(a)gmail.com<mailto:lrsciencefair2019@gmail.com>) 2019 Judge Coordinator and Dr. Cynthia Stauffacher 2019 Director -- Gillian Barth Deputy Director Lafayette Regional Science Fair Purdue University

Use of outside gas cylinder storage area - new policy
by Nagy, Gabriela 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Good morning, everyone, In an effort to ensure that the outside gas cylinder storage area is used safely and there is always space for new gas cylinders ordered by our research groups, the ChE Safety Committee is implementing the following two new rules: 1. Gas cylinders are not to be stored in the outside storage area for more than 3 months. Starting Monday, March 18, 2019, Jason Davenport will send an individual email to every person who is responsible for gas cylinders stored in the outside storage area for 3 months or more. The person will be asked to remove the cylinder from the storage area within one week. If the cylinder is not removed within one week, Jason will move that cylinder to the "Return" cage. This policy will ensure that newly delivered gas cylinders can be placed in their corresponding cage in a timely manner, and the gas cylinders are used in the order they are received. 2. When retrieving/adding a gas cylinder from/to any of the cages in the outside storage area, 4 (four) safety cones have to be used to warn pedestrians/users of the walk/bike path of the potential impact hazard. The cones are to be placed in the middle of each lane of the path, so that walking/biking is restricted and users are warned to bypass the area immediately in front of the storage area while the cones are displayed. Please make sure you place ALL 4 safety cones back in the storage area when you finished. This policy is in effect starting today. Should you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your commitment to safety! Gabriela On behalf of the ChE Safety Committee __________________ Gabriela Nagy, PhD Industrial Education Director Davidson School of Chemical Engineering Room FRNY G051 Purdue University Tel: (765)-496-1710 E-mail: nagyg(a)purdue.edu<mailto:nagyg@purdue.edu>
