LORRE B-38 Cleanup Remember that we will be doing the cleanup of B-38 on Saturday October 25th, starting at 9am. We need everyone's help! Please keep this day open and plan to be there to help. With everyone's efforts, the job should go fairly quickly. Over the next week, Drs. Ladisch, Engelberth, Ximenes, and Mosier will make a list of the big items to be moved first. After the big items, there are many smaller items and re-organizing that will be needed. If you have a preference (helping to move bigger items or re-organizing smaller items), please let us know. We will be developing a work list of items with approximate start times for that day to keep the number of people in B-38 to a reasonable number. There are also a few items that will need finishing on the second floor as well. LORRE Seminars Our weekly seminars will be held on Mondays 4-5pm! All LORRE graduate students are expected to attend. The next seminar will be next week on Monday October 20th by Ian Mateus in the Fu Room (POTR 234).
