Hi All,
A couple of points:
I understand that losing access to Paris (the 500 MHz NMR in Malott B042) inconveniences the post-docs and students in Malott and we will get the BBO probe back into the instrument as soon as possible. In the meantime, please use the reserve software to book time on Florence (the 400 in 3002). There is amble time available on this instrument and we should all be able to acquire whatever data we need to progress in our research.
In additional news, it is "EAB" season at KU. COBRE and CMLD both have EABs this month. Although our lab is not reviewed during these processes, I believe that now is a good time to take stock of what we do well and what we could improve on. So Sarah and I will conduct a "self-EAB" assessment. I'm not sure that we'll ever present the results publicly, but if you are interested in knowing what we decide please contact me. Also if you'd like to add any feedback, please let me or Sarah know.
Finally, there was an interesting op-ed piece on NPR this week saying "Thank You" to our represented leaders (and our citizens) for continuing to fund science (http://www.npr.org/blogs/13.7/2011/09/08/140284902/a-scientist-s-gratitude).
