Hello MSE Researchers, With winter recess in the near future, I wanted to remind all of you to be safe during the holidays as well as going into next semester. If you plan on working in the lab during winter recess, during the weekend, or late at night, please make you have a buddy close by in case there is an accident and helped is needed. This is important regardless of status (grad, post-doc, faculty, etc.). Remember also to come to the lab prepared having read all necessary materials beforehand such as relevant SOPs and the associated SDS. Please exercise extra caution as well when performing lab work over the break because very little faculty and staff will be here over the break to provide aid. Happy Holidays, Jenni Fifer Safety & Mechanical Testing Lab Technician Materials Science & Engineering Purdue University Phone: 765-494-9718 Email: fiferj@purdue.edu<mailto:fiferj@purdue.edu>
