Hello all, Do we still have full access to Biorender? I put in the username and password I thought was for our lab, but it says it is wrong. Did we change the password? Let me know if anyone knows the login or if something changed. Thanks!

Next Friday and Saturday event
by Nicole Iverson 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Hello everyone (including males, we need males to help with this event too!), As I’ve mentioned in the group meeting, there is a Women in Science event on Friday (4/5) and Saturday (4/6) during which female high school students from around the state come to UNL to learn about science/engineering. We participated last year and it was a lot of fun! It would be great if as many people as possible could participate this year too. Please email back to everyone and let us know if you will or will not participate. Maybe we can have a running list of who will and will not attend. I need to know by the end of this week. I will see if I can get T-shirts for you to wear at Saturday’s event, so also list your T-shirt size if you can attend on Saturday. Here is the information: Friday, 4/5: You would be assisting the professors that are going to be running the event. You will help to direct the students in case they try to wander away from the group. This event is less important than Saturday, but if a few of you could help it would be greatly appreciated! 2:00 - 3:30 p.m. Tour Schedule: 2:00 – 2:25 p.m. Tour #1 2:25 – 2:30 p.m. Rotate 2:30 – 2:55 p.m. Tour #2 2:55 – 3:00 p.m. Rotate 3:00 – 3:25 p.m. Tour #3 Rotating groups of 25 people between Nebraska Innovation Studio, Food Innovation Center, Greenhouse Innovation Center Saturday, 4/6: Samereh will be leading you in two sessions during which you will work with 15 – 20 students to teach them about BME in general and protein folding specifically. You will walk around the room going from group to group to help the students and in general just offer them support. You will also be able to talk to them about your experiences and answer any questions that they have. Event is at the Willa Cather Dining complex on the first floor. Set up for event is at 9 am First group of students 9:30 – 10:30 am Second group of students 10:45 – 11:45 am Anyone that is participating in these events needs to fill out a form (super quick) by Friday.

If this is first time visiting in the portal, you will be asked to create an account. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks in advance for your participation in this event!

FW: EHS Laboratory Safety Compliance Survey Results
by Nicole Iverson 28 Mar '24

28 Mar '24

Can you please make sure that these safety items are all addressed when you perform the lab clean up? Please have one person email me to tell me when they are all completed. [signature_3642277382] Nicole Iverson, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Biological Systems Engineering Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources College of Engineering University of Nebraska–Lincoln 260 Morrison Hall, 4240 Fair Street, Lincoln, NE 68583 Cell: 732-648-3319 | iverson(a)unl.edu<mailto:iverson@unl.edu>| engineering.unl.edu/iversonlab<http://engineering.unl.edu/iversonlab/> From: ehs(a)unl.edu <ehs(a)unl.edu> Date: Thursday, January 18, 2024 at 11:06 AM To: Nicole Iverson <iverson(a)unl.edu> Cc: Macrae Zappala <mzappala2(a)unl.edu> Subject: EHS Laboratory Safety Compliance Survey Results Hello Nicole Iverson, This email is to inform you of the results of the Lab Safety & Compliance Survey conducted by our EHS team, led by Macrae Zappala, in your laboratories on 01/01/2024. Below, you'll find a list of open items that require attention. Any issues applicable to all surveyed rooms will be marked as “All surveyed rooms”. If a specific room isn't mentioned, it means no room-specific deficiencies were identified and/or were corrected during the time of the audit. Please take a moment to go through the listed items and address them accordingly. Once you or your laboratory staff fixed the identified issues, a courtesy notification would be highly appreciated. As part of the survey, we've updated the Hazard Assessment of the room. For those rooms with changes to hazards and contacts, please download the updated door posting by following this link: Campus Door Postings<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/uofnelincoln.sharepoint.com/:f:/s/UNL-EH…>. Should you have any questions, concerns, or need further information, please feel free to reach out to us. Findings for Inspection: 16142 Code Answer Description Location Recommendation Observations Correct By Date Picture(s) BIO01 Def/Violation Disinfectant containers are not appropriately labeled (name, made/mfg. date and expiration date). Expired disinfectants are in use. 257 / Morrison Life Sciences Research Center Durable containers with working solutions of disinfectants must be labeled with the chemical name (and concentration if applicable), solution preparation or manufacture date, and the expiration date. Refer to the EHS SOP "Chemical Disinfectants for Biohazardous Materials" for more information. (https://ehs.unl.edu/sop/s-bio-disinfectants.pdf) Properly dispose of expired disinfectants. Most working solutions of disinfectants can be disposed of down the drain, but refer to the EHS Sewer Disposal List SOP prior to disposal. Bleach and ethanol disinfectant containers have no made or expiration dates marked on them. Lab worker indicates that they are refilled every week so they are never in danger of becoming expired. 04/17/2024 BIO03 Item of Concern A biohazardous spill kit is not available in the lab or is not appropriately stocked. Spills and contaminated surfaces and equipment are not appropriately cleaned and decontaminated. 257 / Morrison Life Sciences Research Center Please replace the missing components of the biohazard spill kit. The missing components include: Nitrile or latex gloves (multiple pairs), lab coat or disposable gown, safety glasses, surgical mask or face shield, Biohazard bags, disinfectant, tongs, small broom with dustpan, signage to post when cleaning up and a copy of spill cleanup procedures. Additional guidance on clean-up of spills of biohazardous materials as well as a complete list of minimum spill kit components can be found in the EHS SOP Spill and Exposure Response for Biohazardous Materials (https://ehs.unl.edu/sop/s-bio-spill_%26_exposure_response.pdf) Biohazard spill kit contains absorbent. Lab has all other items around the lab, but in the event of an emergency, it is ideal to have all clean up items in one location to make the process easier. N/A Environmental Health and Safety is committed to excellent customer service and we invite you to complete a Customer Satisfaction Survey to provide feedback on our services and staff. By taking a few moments to complete the survey (http://ehs.unl.edu/survey), you will be helping us to identify areas where we might need to focus our attention. Your participation is greatly appreciated.

Friday Social Event - Movie & Potluck
by Ivon Acosta Ramirez 19 Mar '24

19 Mar '24

Hi labmates, Dr. Iverson, The sunset is now at 7:40 pm. We will have a potluck as dinner and then, we will watch the movie. So, please bring something to share :) We will watch the movie: Elemental!. For giving rides, It will be easier for all of us to leave at the same time from the office. If possible, come prepared. But, if someone still needs a ride, we will figure it out. (I am hosting, I can't). Please bring blankets or whatever will make you enjoy the movie and have a recharging time, my house welcomes you 😊 Let me know if you have any questions!
