I apologize for the last minute request, but we have a virtual invited guest seminar happening at 3 PM tomorrow, by Professor Michael S. Strano from MIT (Professor Dou is hosting), and we wanted to advertise this across our department and Material Science and Engineering. Would it be at all possible to share this information to the Graduate Office in MSE as well as members of our department? It would be an amazing opportunity for everyone who can make it, especially given that we have significantly less exposure to external talks. I attached the abstract for the talk as well as the flyer, and the meeting link is provided below. Thank you!

Outstanding Faculty Mentor Award
by Johnson, Beverly J 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Good morning, Please join me in congratulating Professor Rajamani Gounder for winning the Outstanding Faculty Mentor of Engineering Graduate Students Award this year! Here is a short statement recognizing Prof. Gounder for his commitment to mentorship: Professor Rajamani Gounder is recognized for his excellence in the mentorship of graduate students, in addition to all who cross his path, including undergraduates, postdocs, and collaborators. Prof. Gounder tailors his mentorship for individualized development towards one's academic and professional goals. In the stressful graduate school environment, Prof. Gounder has advocated for good mental health and work-life harmony as he supports his students pursuing other passions outside of research. There were several Professors who were in this year's running which goes to show we have some truly outstanding mentors in our department. Thank you to all who put the time and effort into nominating. Bev Johnson Graduate Program Administrator Chemical Engineering Forney Hall 2037D Purdue University 765-494-4057 [P bling]

ISP Recertification of our School
by Nagy, Gabriela 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

Hello Everyone, I am pleased to let you know that following the Integrated Safety Plan (ISP) recertification meeting with REM representatives on Monday, March 1st , 2021, followed by safety inspection of selected ChE labs and corrections of identified deficiencies, our School was ISP recertified for another year. The signed, official recertification document was made available to me today. Some of the deficiencies identified during lab inspections were: "gas cylinder stored without a cap", "open hazardous solid waste container" and "open contaminated sharps container", "unlabeled hazardous chemical container". Reminders: 1. Gas cylinders stored in the lab (not in use) should not have a regulator attached, and must to be capped at all times. They also need to be secured in a specially designed cage/bracket and kept in place with a chain/strap that should be at about 2/3 of the cylinder height. 2. ALL hazardous waste containers, including solid waste and contaminated sharps, have to be CLOSED at all times, apart from when adding waste to the container. 3. For solid hazardous waste, including contaminates sharps, you can determine if the container is closed properly by answering this simple question: "If the container is accidentally knocked over, will the waste/sharps remain contained?" If the answer to this question is NO, then you need to seal the container in a different way, so that the answer to the question will be YES. 4. All hazardous waste container have to be labeled with the orange "Hazardous waste disposal tag" label when the first drop of chemical waste (or first solid waste/contaminated sharp) is added to the container. The label should be updated when new waste is added. Please don't mix incompatible waste streams. Solid waste needs to be collected separately from contaminated sharps. At the same time, please remember that razor blades and needles need to be collected separately from regular sharps (broken glass, pipette tips, etc.). Thank you for your efforts in making this possible and for your sustained commitment to safety! Sincerely, Gabriela on behalf of 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>

Lessons learned - summary of safety incidents in FRNY (February-March 2021)
by Nagy, Gabriela 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

Hello everyone, I wanted to share with you two recent safety incidents reported to me from the start of the 2021 calendar year (see attached document). The general recommendations at the end of the document provide good information for preventing safety incidents from happening. I am also sharing the "Gas Cylinder Handling Procedures for FRNY" document (last updates in July 2020) which is also available on our website (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ChE/aboutus/safety/index_html) under the "Laboratory Safety Requirements" section. Please familiarize yourself with the information in this important document. Stay safe, and should you have any questions, please let me know. Sincerely, 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>
