MSE personnel should exercise additional caution and use the buddy system for lab activities that need to take place during this time period. * Upcoming Trainings (Optional): * CPR Training<https://www.eventreg.purdue.edu/training/courselisting.aspx?1=%20&master_id…>: Jan 2, Feb 6, Mar 6, May 7, all 9am-12pm * Verbal De-escalation training<https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/police/community-services/outreach-programs/ver…>: Jan 23, 1:30-3:30 pm; Jan 26, 9:30-11:30 am; Jan 31, 1:30-3:30 pm. **** New MSE Technical Staff Member: Mr. Sam Schmidt **** Sam Schmidt is MSE’s new Instructional and Research Support Engineer, serving as the instrument and technical specialist for our materials characterization equipment. In addition, Sam will support and instruct in the use of laboratory tools used in research by graduate students, undergraduates, and faculty and provide instructional and operational support services for course delivery, assisting students with projects as appropriate. Sam comes to us with degrees from two of our peer Big 10 Materials Engineering programs, earning his Masters in MSE at Michigan State University, and his MSE Bachelor’s with a Chemistry Minor from the University of Illinois. Sam’s office is ARMS 2207 – drop by and say Hello! (schmidsd(a)purdue.edu<mailto:schmidsd@purdue.edu>; 765-49-49718) **** Results from the OSHA Building Inspection **** In October, Purdue Environmental Health and Safety (EHS; formerly known as REM) administered the annual OSHA Building Inspection of ARMS. Action Items were emailed to ARMS Lab Supervisors by Casey in November and were all resolved by December 7th. The top 3 violations were: 1. Unlabeled Containers: All containers need appropriate labels that indicate their contents, even “water”. In particular, waste containers should be labeled using the orange Hazardous Waste Disposal Tags and include the following information: PI name, chemical names (written out; no acronyms or chemical formulas), volume percents, and an indication of hazards at bottom of label. 2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): It is important that all PPE be kept clean and properly maintained. If lab coats are intended to be reused, do not store them atop one another, on seats/chairs, or in any other manner where cross contamination may occur. 3. Power Strips and Extension cords: Extension cords should not be used as permanent wiring. Muli-outlet “power strips” also need to have 15-amp over-current protection (typically, these are the power strips with an “on/off” button). Household-use extension cords are not permitted due to the potential for overload. **** Preparing for the Spring ISP Inspection **** As part of our Integrated Safety Plan<https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/isp/index.html> (ISP) lab certification with Purdue EHS, each year we conduct a guided “self-audit” of the safety training procedures, hazards, and hygiene of all lab spaces that MSE personnel utilize at Purdue using this Self-Audit Checklist<https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/documents/forms/ispcheck.pdf>. After our self-audit checklists are submitted, EHS staff will inspect select lab spaces in each building. To prepare for these self-audits and inspections, please be proactive in identifying and abating (fixing) any lingering lab safety and hygiene issues in the lab space where you most frequently work. And, if you are so inclined, you/your lab can complete & submit the Self-Audit Checklist anytime between now and January 31. This could be a fun Finals Week group activity?! The indemnification timeline is as follows: * January 31: Self-Audit Checklists must be submitted to the MSE Safety Committee for review and corrections, if needed. * March 1: Self-Audit Checklists are submitted to Purdue EHS and select labs are inspected. A list of Items of Concern is created for each lab space and sent to the MSE lab supervisors for correction (abatement). * April 15: Abatement reports are submitted to Purdue EHS for final review and certification. Hard copies of the Self-Audit Checklist, associated instructions, and the lab master list are available outside of Prof. Erk’s office (ARMS 2315). Please watch for future announcements from Casey about this important process. **** Safety Best-Practice: Secondary Containment for Chemicals & Waste **** Secondary containment is a control measure, placed or built around an accumulation container or tank, to prevent its contents from leaving the area in the event of a spill or leak. These are typically shallow plastic trays or bins. Secondary containers are also a great way to separate and organize your stored chemicals in a clear way. See example below of secondary containers used for chemical storage in ARMS. The following two Purdue-approved vendors have a variety of cost-effective containers: * US Plastic Corp: https://www.usplastic.com/<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.uspla…> * Cary Corporation: https://www.thecarycompany.com/<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theca…> [cid:image001.jpg@01DA2934.EA649730] Image: Secondary containers for storage of liquid chemicals in ARMS B214. **** ARMS 2130/2132/2136 First Friday Clean-Ups **** The MSE Safety Committee in consultation with Purdue EHS now facilitates monthly clean-up sessions for the Sample Prep / Polishing / Microscopy lab spaces in ARMS (ARMS 2136, 2132, and 2130). These clean-up sessions are in response to lab user feedback from our recent safety survey (“the labs are dirty and disorganized”) as well as to the growing number of safety infractions and near-misses that have occurred over the past year in these spaces. As you all know first-hand, it is so much easier, safer, and more fun to complete your research activities in a clean, well-organized lab space. *** All active lab users of these spaces are required to help with 2 clean-up sessions per year, which take place on the first Friday of every month from 3-4 pm. Each session will involve 5-7 lab users as well as Casey Peters. Checklists are utilized for each lab space to streamline the workflow. The next cleaning session will be Friday, February 2nd. To sign-up for this session or any future session, please click here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0849A5A72BA7FCC43-arms#/<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.signu…> *** And let’s not forget about personal health and safety... *** The end of the semester brings excitement for winter recess and the new year mixed with the stress and gloom of less daylight and more deadlines.

Indiana Winter Safety Tips & Tricks❄️
by Maddison DeLaney Walsh 21 Nov '24

21 Nov '24

Hello Students, Many of you probably woke up this morning and saw that our first snowfall of the winter season has arrived! We know some of you may not have driven or trudged through before, so we wanted to send out some safety tips and tricks to help you not turn into Frosty the Snowman ☃️! Winter Driving: * Drive Smoothly: Gentle, deliberate movements keep tires gripping. Pretend there’s hot coffee in your lap! * Look Ahead: Anticipate stops and turns. Allow extra distance—double on wet roads, triple on snow, more on ice. * Use Your Hazard Lights: Turn on your hazard lights if you need to drive slower due to icy conditions or if you feel you might slide. This helps alert other drivers to your caution. * Clear Snow Before Driving: Remove all snow from your car, especially if it’s an inch or more. Snow flying off your vehicle can obstruct the view of other drivers and create dangerous conditions. * Mind Warning Lights: Flashing stability-control lights mean your wheels are slipping. Ease off the accelerator. * Focus on Your Path: In a skid, look where you want to go, not where you’re heading. * Front-Wheel Skid: Ease off the gas to regain traction. * Rear-Wheel Skid: Turn the wheel toward the slide. No brakes! * Use ABS Brakes: Push the pedal hard and steer around obstacles—don’t pump the brakes. * Test Traction: Lightly apply brakes to gauge grip (when it’s safe). A chattering pedal signals slick roads. * Read the Road: Shiny surfaces = ice/slush; dry snow offers better grip. Plan for shady spots. * Think Ahead: Use local knowledge to prepare for hills and sharp turns. * Pack Essentials: Get a snowbrush, flashlight, snacks, and a blanket to keep in your car! * Warm Up: Give your car time to warm up while you scrape off the ice and snow. General Winter Tips * Stay Hydrated: Cold weather dehydrates you—drink plenty of water! * Seal Your Space: Drafts from windows or doors can make your living space colder—use weatherstripping or a draft stopper. * Dress in Layers: Wear thermal clothing, sweaters, and a waterproof outer layer. Don’t forget gloves, a hat, and a scarf! * Invest in Good Boots: Warm, waterproof boots with good traction are essential for icy sidewalks. * Keep Essentials Handy: Always have a warm coat and extra gloves, even if you’re just running errands. If you want to build your own Frosty, snow packs better when it's above 32°. If you try to build one when it's below freezing, you'll have a hard time getting the snow to pack!

Since 2002, the Branco Weiss Fellowship - Society in Science has supported more than 150 early-career researchers. Fellows are free to carry out their projects at any academic institution worldwide, allowing them to choose the environment that best suits their research needs. The fellowship is open to researchers at postdoctoral level in all disciplines (including natural sciences, engineering, social sciences, and humanities). Eligibility You are eligible for the 2025 intake if: * You officially hold a PhD on January 15, 2025 * You have obtained your PhD a maximum of five years prior to January 15, 2025 * You do not hold/have not held a faculty-equivalent position (e.g. assistant professor or lecturer) * Your project departs from the mainstream of research in your discipline * You have a record of outstanding scientific achievement * You demonstrate in the proposal a willingness to engage in a dialog on relevant social, cultural, political or economic issues beyond the frontiers of your particular discipline Please note that we typically do not fund mainstream research projects that could also be funded by other scientific organizations. Duration Research projects should be conceived to last five years. The first two and a half years of a project are called the pioneer phase. Before the end of the second year, a site visit will take place and a review will be conducted. At this point, the project, its continued originality, and the productivity of the fellow will be evaluated. If the results of the evaluation and site visit are satisfactory, the fellow enters the exploitation phase for the remaining two and a half years of the fellowship. Branco Weiss Fellows are encouraged to seek faculty positions during their exploitation phase. Fellows can start a faculty position/professorship after the first year of the fellowship. Assuming an academic position will not result in termination of the fellowship. Funding A Branco Weiss Fellowship amounts to max. CHF 600,000 (currently $678,560 US) for up to five years. It may be used to cover all legitimate costs of research (i.e. salary and/or equipment, travel expenses, consumables, personnel, etc.).
