Hi team, Hopefully everyone is now on this list, if you discover that someone didn’t get this email please let me know. I want to make sure that everyone is on the same page as far as undergraduate/graduate student pairing. Here is the plan: Portia – Sofi and Arjun Trisam – Jayla Nicky – James Undergrads – please make sure that you are working with your grad student to make plans for what activities will be performed and what your schedule is. Graduate students – please make sure you have planned activities for your undergrads. We do not want them to be sitting around waiting for something to do! If you don’t know what they can work on then talk to me ahead of time.

256

Hi team, We have been given permission to use room 256 for our new confocal microscope. Since Portia is going to be in charge of the microscope to start, I would like to ask her to organize a time for everyone to work on clearing out the room and getting everything set up. That time might not be for a few weeks, I will leave it up to her to decide. But I would appreciate if everyone helps when she gets this set up. Thanks, Iverson [signature_1736198565] 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/>

FW: Lab 257 - Floor Stains
by Nicole Iverson 09 Sep '24

09 Sep '24

What are these marks? Is it from acids/piranha solution? If you spill liquid on the floor, you need to clean it up immediately! I do not want our lab to be responsible for replacing the floor – it will be incredibly expensive, cutting into the number of students/post docs we can support. Please check your area during/after every experiment. How can we make sure that this does not continue to happen?

Since these floors are rubber spills soak into the floor instead of sitting on top if not cleaned up right away. They only way to remove these stains is a process of restoring the floor that is very labor intensive and costly. Could you please let your lab occupants know to be more careful and to clean up spills at the time they happen.

Do we have any images that would be good for this? They need to be from the nanotechnology facility on City Campus, so our normal cell/SWNT images from our lab wouldn’t work. I believe that quite a few of you have been over to Jorgenson to take SEM, TEM, etc. images, anything interesting in those? If you have an interesting image and idea but no time we might get someone else to volunteer to help with the pseudocoloring.

Attached is the information for this year’s competition, and the form needed to be submitted with your image. If you see any names missing from the email, please forward this on to those individuals so they have a chance to compete. When you read the rules in the attachment, you will need to submit your entry to me for judging, as only one photo can be submitted per category from each site. This also means, I would like the entries a couple days before the deadline of Sept. 13th. Let me know if you have any further questions, and good luck in this artistic endeavor.

Fw: Improving lab management and lab culture — interview request
by Portia Plange 03 Sep '24

FYI About the $75 interview! [https://ucomm.unl.edu/images/email-signature/Nebraska_N_RGB_small_on_white.…] Portia N.A Plange Graduate Research Asst University of Nebraska–Lincoln Biological Systems Engineering Iverson Lab<https://engineering.unl.edu/iversonlab/> ________________________________ From: Ulkar Aghayeva <Ulkar.Aghayeva(a)dartmouth.edu> Sent: Monday, September 2, 2024 9:59 AM To: Portia Plange <pplange2(a)huskers.unl.edu> Subject: Improving lab management and lab culture — interview request Caution: Non-NU Email Hi Portia, I am writing because you are a graduate student or a postdoc at a biomedical / life sciences lab at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. My name is Ulkar and I'm part of a team of social scientists and economists who want to find out what it means for a biomedical research lab to be “well managed” or to have a supportive culture for trainees. We were drawn to spend time on this work because we suspect — based on anecdotes and evidence from other sectors of the economy — that improvements in lab management practices and lab culture have the potential to unlock a tremendous amount of scientific energy, make the experience of graduate students and postdocs more rewarding, and set them up for success in the future when they will be in charge of their own labs. If your lab has 2 people or more beyond the PI, we invite you to participate in our study. Your contribution would only involve a phone interview lasting about 1-1.5 hours, and you can withdraw at any point. Please note that labs engaged in research involving human subjects are not eligible for this opportunity. We are also not including labs engaged in field work, such as ecology labs, at this time. All interviews will be confidential, and we will compensate you for your time with $75. To sign up for an interview, please pick a time here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://calendly.com/slmp-book/interview__;!!Pv… <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://calendly.com/slmp-book/interview__;!!Pv…> To learn more about the study, please visit https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.labsmanagement.org__;!!PvXuogZ4sRB2p… <https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.labsmanagement.org/__;!!GX6Nv3_Pjr8b-…>, and if you have any questions just let me know.
