Lab meeting
by Nicole Iverson 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

Hi team, My stomach isn’t feeling well this morning, so I think that I’m going to skip our group meeting. Which means that we will need to celebrate Christina’s birthday next week (I figured 1 month late vs. 3 weeks late isn’t a big difference, right?). If Portia is ready to present and wants to do her presentation you can have group meeting without me. I have a bag of yummy popcorn in my office that you can use as the group meeting snack today. If you would rather have time to catch up on other things, we can wait for Portia’s presentation and we will have the popcorn in two weeks. I’ll let you discuss it amongst yourselves to decide.

FW: Keyence Meeting
by Nicole Iverson 28 Jan '25

28 Jan '25

Hi group, Rico, from Keyence, has offered to do a training for you and Cora’s microscope. It will be on zoom, but he should be able to walk you through everything that our scope currently does and point out additional options (I can’t guarantee that we have money to buy the additional options, but let me know if there is something that would be helpful). Can you talk to each other and find a time that would work for everyone interested to participate? Giving him a few dates/times would be great (if someone can email me with the options I will see when I’m free too and pass it on to him). Thanks, Iverson [signature_1110011431] 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: Rico Wassather <RWassather(a)keyence.com> Date: Tuesday, January 28, 2025 at 10:21 AM To: Nicole Iverson <iverson(a)unl.edu> Subject: Keyence Meeting Caution: Non-NU Email Hello Nicole, Were you able to see when your lab would be available to train on the microscope?

Hello group, We will be meeting on Mondays this semester at 12 – 2 pm in room 145. We will start the meeting with announcements and a research overview and then have 1 hour of writing time from 1 – 2 pm. For undergrads that don’t have writing you can choose to skip this part of the meeting. Our tentative schedule is attached. Let me know if you have a conflict with your assigned date.

FW: tools available for teaching and research labs
by Nicole Iverson 20 Jan '25

20 Jan '25

Does anyone want to go over to City Campus to look at the tools and toolboxes and see if there is anything useful for our lab? (see below) Undergrads – if you are on City Campus for classes it would be great if you could swing by (you could always put our name on something and have one of us with a car pick it up).

Brightfelt donated many of his personal tools to the College of Engineering. The Garage received the equipment and is looking to distribute some of it to departmental teaching labs and faculty research labs throughout the college. Items become available in the Garage (southeast corner of KH, 1st floor) beginning Jan. 13 at 9:00 AM. Any tools that remain unclaimed after Jan. 17 at 5:00 PM will be sent to surplus. Please note: * The tools are organized and labeled as in the attached photos. * Individual tools can be removed starting Jan. 13; toolboxes (limit 1 per lab) can be "claimed" by placing a sticky note with faculty or department name but should not be removed until Jan. 17. * Please only take what you need. * Please avoid breaking up sets (i.e., don't take one wrench or socket from a complete set) - use your best judgment as to which items should remain together. * Removal is your responsibility; bring a box or cart if planning to take more than a couple of items. * Please do not bring more help (e.g., graduate students) than needed to carry away the items you are claiming - we want to avoid chaos/congestion on Monday morning. 🙂 Thanks, The COE Garage ______________________________________________________________ Carl A.

Group meeting time
by Nicole Iverson 10 Jan '25

10 Jan '25

Hello everyone, I’m trying to set up a time for our group meeting this semester. I’ve made a when2meet poll (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.when2meet.com/?28256099-ZD4N2__;!!P… ), please fill it out with days/times that work for you. If you have meetings one Friday a month that will get in the way of coming to group meeting, please mark yourself as available and email me separately to let me know (that is just one example). We will not meet during spring break and can determine if there are other weeks/days that are not good for meeting as the semester progresses. We are going to try to meet for 2 hrs each week, with 1 hr for writing (if undergrads don’t have anything to work on they can skip this time – probably most weeks undergrads can use this as study time or not come for this part) and 1 hr for research updates and information sharing. As you know, I like to bring snacks to our meetings, so if you have any food allergies or foods that you avoid please email me to let me know (even if you think I already know, this will help me to remember – for example, I know that Trisam doesn’t eat some types of meat, but I’m not totally sure of what types). Please fill this out as soon as possible, so that we can get our schedule set! Thanks, Iverson [signature_3444502569] 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/>

Tuesday's meeting
by Nicole Iverson 08 Dec '24

08 Dec '24

Hello team, I have picked up some wood ornaments that I think would be fun to paint for our tree. I would like to have us paint our ornaments and maybe have snacks on Tuesday during our normal meeting time. So if you want to bring snacks, painting supplies, and holiday cheer that would be great! We will plan to do this in our office so that we don’t get in trouble for painting in the conference room. We can even start early if some of you can’t stay for the 3 pm portion of the meeting. I’ll see you then, Iverson [signature_2076346445] 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/>
