***April LORRE Safety Issue* 4/9/2018 To All: Next month, we have a big event coming up about *LORRE’s 40^th anniversary celebration.* We will greet many important funders and a lot of alumni. This event will help our LORRE research progress and development in numerous ways. Therefore, LORRE safety committee wants to make sure that LORREE lab is shown as a safe and organized laboratory before everyone. We have updated the Lab Mayor Assignments (2018) and posted it on each lab door’s emergency contact form. The person listed at the very top of the sheet is the Lab Mayor and will facilitate everyone to assist and cooperate with them. The most important task as the Lab Mayor is thorough safety management of our lab. In fact, this task is already in progress*. Petr Vozka* and *Derick Ford* have cleaned the fume hoods in LAB #333 and *Raymond Red Corn* started to work on the arrangement of the refrigerators and sterilization of the biohazardous materials. Also, *Jonathan Overton, Samira* *Fatemi, Elena A Robles Molina* have been brought in the spectrophotometer, centrifuge, and glassware to the labs. Furthermore*, Pablo Vega* has been working on finding a way to move the refrigerators and the BioCabinet to our lab from ABE building. Finally, *Ha Rim Ku, Jiwon Choi,* *Casey Bomrad, Justin Couetil*, and *Nate Nouman* have been organizing the lab and cleaning the waste materials. Hope we continue to work hard and make our lab a better and safer environment. If anyone has any suggestions, please contact our committee. Thank you, LORRE Safety Committee
