Events
When events are taking place in Birck that you are not a participant of do NOT help yourself the refreshments being served. This is extremely rude behavior that happens often and does not give a good image of the Center.

Kitchen
The refrigerator will be cleaned out on Thursday Feb 26 in the afternoon. Anything that looks old or bad will be trashed. Container and all unless your name is on it.

Postdoctoral Position
A postdoctoral position in cell nanomechanics is available immediately in the laboratory for Prof. Arvind Raman in the Birck Nanotechnology Center.

VB-6

The video problems have been resolved as we reported last week.  However we believe the system has been hacked from the outside, and the Vistec field service people are working on the control software via a remote connection to find and fix the software issues.  We hope to have this resolved in a very short time.  Also, some users have noted that it is difficult to get time on the machine due to it always being reserved by a small number of users.  We're revisiting our entire recharge scenario and this issue will be discussed.

Recently a very large project involving multiple groups across campus has required a large amount of VB-6 write time.  The latest chips were written two days ago and it is anticipated that the VB-6 requirements for this particular project will be relaxed for a while, allowing other users on the machine.

As always, thanks for your constructive feedback!

Workshop

Do you work in a cleanroom?
Do you plan to work in a cleanroom after graduation?
Are you curious about how a cleanroom works?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, register for the workshop on CLEANROOMS offered by John Weaver on the morning of Thursday, March 26, 2015. Registration is free for Purdue faculty and students, and it will be held right here in the Birck Nanotechnology Center room 1001. Contact Jaime Turner to register.
