Lab safety - PLEASE READ
by Silvana Martini 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25

Hi all, Last week I was notified of serious recurring safety issues in the teaching labs related to biohazard waste and chemical safety including labeling of reagents and solutions. I want to remind everybody that safety is a priority and each one of us deserves to work in a safe environment and is accountable for leaving their workspace clean and ready to use for the next person. Angie does a wonderful job at training TAs about lab safety but it seems that this is not enough... We are thinking of ways to address these safety issues, which seems to be a problem for some years now. I just wanted to let you know what we are working on this. In the meantime, if you are an instructor, please work with your TAs and remind your TAs to follow Angie's instructions and to be proactive at ensuring that we have a safe place to work. If you are a TA, please take your job seriously and make sure that your workspace is clean and safe to use before you leave. If you are an undergraduate student and you see a safety hazard, please let us know. This is everybody's responsibility! And we are all accountable for things that go wrong (and believe me, they will go wrong if we continue on this path)! In summary, if you see something in the labs that doesn't look right (unlabeled bottles, overfilled biohazard waste cans, etc.) please let us know. This is not to blame anybody; it is only to ensure everybody's safety. We are lucky to have somebody like Angie to help us with the labs, so please work with her, listen to her, follow her advice to keep our workspace acceptable and safe. Working as a team will make things better and easier for everybody. Please don't hesitate to contact me, Angie, or Jayne if you have any questions about this. Thanks, Silvana [University of Nebraska – Lincoln] Silvana Martini, PhD Professor, Department Head University of Nebraska-Lincoln Food Science & Technology Lincoln, NE 402-472-5267 Editor-in-Chief, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://aocs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/15… > Fellow of the American Oil Chemists' Society Past President of the American Oil Chemists' Society (2022-2023)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.aocs.org__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p-tU!Aa6kh3… >

The Zizian group has been reported to be in Nebraska. Our colleagues at NCITE at UNO created the attached document with additional background and information about the group. Please stay alert and be vigilant for any unusual activity. Mike ________________________________ From: Gina Ligon Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2025 3:01 PM To: Mike Boehm; Deborah VanOverbeke; Tiffany Heng-Moss; Charles Stoltenow; Derek McLean; Samuel Hunter; Meghan Jackson Subject: Re: Info Mike and colleagues, This is indeed a dangerous group, and I am sorry to hear they are in Nebraska. First steps: reporting if someone saw something suspicious on or near their property (examples could be surveillance or asking to reside on unoccupied land (even if in their vehicles or tents). Awareness would be the NE FLI field office - here is the direct reporting line, but if you do have information where, would recommend that I get you in touch with the Supervisory Intelligence Agent there (please let me know). Line to directly report to Nebraska FBI Field office: (402) 493-8688 Also, if any have made a threat of violence to anyone, that is grounds for immediate call to police so please don't take that one lightly as it is likely a federal charge. So far, they have been charged at the state level in Maryland (and actually as recently as last month), but they were involved with the shooting that ended with a CBP officer's life in Vermont. We can get you a short overview of the group to distribute among your faculty/students and any affected growers or ranchers if that would be helpful? Let me know what we can do to help, Gina Gina Scott Ligon, Ph.D. Director, National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education (NCITE) Jack and Stephanie Koraleski Chair of Collaboration Science University of Nebraska Omaha [A black background with letters Description automatically generated]

Food Pantry Food
by Susie Fauble 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

Hello all, We would like to remind everyone that the food pantry is a resource dedicated to supporting those in our community who are in need. It has come to our attention that some individuals may be using the pantry for personal use. To ensure that we can continue to provide for those who truly need assistance, we kindly ask that you refrain from taking food from the pantry bin. Your cooperation is essential in helping us maintain this vital service for our community. Best Regards, Susie [University of Nebraska – Lincoln] Susie Fauble Administrative Coordinator Department of Food Science and Technology <https://foodsci.unl.edu/ > University of Nebraska-Lincoln Food Innovation Center, 1901 N 21st St, Room 232 Lincoln, NE 68588-6205 402-472-2905 Empathy / Strategic / Developer / Context / Belief

Autoclave Room 205 trash
by Jayne Stratton 28 Mar '25

28 Mar '25

To all autoclave/glassware washer users, The attached picture was taken of the trash container in autoclave room 205. This is unacceptable. ALL disposable gloves should be disposed of PROPERLY in the labs, according to each laboratory's protocols. Beside the point of simply throwing gloves on the floor for someone else to clean up, the basic protocol is that disposable gloves are not worn outside of the lab, so they should not appear in trash containers in any general use areas. We would like the custodians to empty the trash in that room, but they will not do that if gloves with potential contamination are being tossed in them. The trash containers are for paper towels, old autoclave recording paper, or other non-hazardous disposable items. To those in charge of labs, please ensure your personnel are following your protocols for disposable glove use. Thanks! Jayne [cid:image001.gif@01D6820B.A341D4E0] Jayne Stratton Rsch Professor University of Nebraska-Lincoln Food Processing Center<http://fpc.unl.edu/ > 1901 N 21st St Lincoln, NE 68588-6206 mailto: jstratton1(a)unl.edu<mailto:jstratton1@unl.edu> tel: 4024722829

3rd Floor Walk-In Refrigerator
by Kristin Beede 25 Mar '25

25 Mar '25

All, I just finished up with our lab groups EHS inspection and they had questions of ownership for items in room S317 (walk-in refrigerator that is located on the 3rd floor next to the ice machine). Attached are pictures of the shelves in the walk-in where we need to determine ownership. Please contact me by April 4th if some of these items are yours so we can properly label them. Whatever is not spoken for by April 4th will be DISCARDED. Thanks, Kristin [cid:image001.gif@01DB9D97.E9A7EA80] Kristin Beede, MS Ramer-Tait Lab, Research Lab Manager II Food Science & Technology University of Nebraska-Lincoln 1901 N. 21st Street Rm207 Lincoln, NE 68588 kristin.beede(a)unl.edu 3084402320<tel:3084402320>

Importance: High Colleagues, Please share the information below with Professors and Research staff in your unit. We have an increase in projects- (50 science fair projects)- coming for our Regional Science Fair on Thursday here at our East Campus Union, and we are in need of more Professor/Research Staff judges. Last year's fair resulted in some new students to our departments/units and several mentor opportunities. There is some confusion that this is the same science fair as the STATE one on April 24th (they have plenty of judges so thank you to everyone for supporting that event). That Science Fair is also on East Campus. The Regional is the qualifying science fair for the state fair in April. Questions please let me know. Thanks, Tammy Colleagues, We hope your spring semester is off to a great start. We will be hosting the Southeast Regional Science Fair at the East Campus Union on March 27th from 8-12:30. We are looking for individuals who can attend the whole time and would like to judge middle school and high school science fair projects. If you are interested, please sign up at the link below. We would also like to encourage our colleagues outside of CASNR to participate so if you have a colleague in a different college who would be interested in judging, please share this information. Any questions please contact Tammy Mittelstet at tmittelstet(a)unl.edu<mailto:tmittelstet@unl.edu>.
