Removal of LSR-II (Barry)

Cytek will be onsite Thursday, August 18 to decontaminate the decommissioned LSR-II (Barry) from 10:00am - 1:00pm in Room 538. This is in preparation for pick-up by Cytek next week.

There should be no impact to normal operations.

Updates to Building 5 Package Pick-Up

Each day someone from the DEM admin (primarily Meredith, or Vanessa, Xavier, Justin) team picks up packages. The following changes have occurred:

• Building 5 package pick-up time has changed to 11am-3pm (formerly 1pm-3pm).
• Packages may not always be sorted and labeled into the distribution corner or fridge. We now need to sort through the pallet by the first desk in the area.

Please send delivery confirmations to the DEM General email (ExperimentalMedicine@ucsf.edu) so that the admin team has access to the notices and can look for specific packages each day. This will be helpful since we are sorting through the pallet of packages.

The admin team will continue to send out email notices to the lab when packages are picked-up/delivered.

UCSF Staff, Faculty, and Students may receive discounts valid on all performances except Saturday evenings and up to Weeks 8 & 9.
