RO water low - no autoclaves
by Jayne Stratton 16 May '25

16 May '25

Good morning, Nebraska Nova stopped by my office and mentioned the building RO water is low and is trying to replenish. They have shut off the autoclaves on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors to try to reduce usage. Service has been contacted to assist in correcting the issue. Hopefully the autoclaves can be turned on again after lunch if the system is working properly, and I will send another message then.

Looking for a missing package
by Richard Zbasnik 16 May '25

16 May '25

Hi All, I am looking for a package sent to Richard Zbasnik (room 202) that was supposed to have arrived around April 20th. The mail distribution did send it out, but I had not gotten a notice and there was no package in the receiving area. I think (hope) someone else picked it up by mistake and still has the item. Included is a picture of the package. It is in a USPS box and should be a smaller box around a foot or so at the longest and the item inside is a flour sample for analysis. If you remember picking something like this up or have any idea, please let me know. Thank you, ----- Richard G. Zbasnik Project Manager University of Nebraska — Lincoln Food Science & Technology 1901 N 21st Street Lincoln, NE 68588-6205 Room: 202 Phone: (402) 472-4694
