Dear Group, There is now a bottle of dish soap and a sponge by the sink. I requested Custodial Services to stock the sink with paper towels as well. We need to return the wooden cart to Facilities. Please remove the items from the cart and I'll have them pick it up tomorrow. If you have any empty boxes, you can leave them on the cart so the Shakhnovich group can use them.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] lab move-out

by Anna B. Shin

Dear Group, CCB is finally coughing up some space for our bulging group. Everyone in M110, as well as our homeless postdocs Man Hong and Jacob, will have temporary desks in Cv 002 and Cv 004 (Cv meaning Converse for you newbies). Cv002/004 are located between the Zhuang and Park labs, directly across from where the old stockroom used to be. The actual move-out will take place beginning on Mon or Tue next week (14/15 Sep). I will let you know. Facilities will be available to help with any difficult items and provide carts for the move. I suggest starting now by picking up boxes from Shipping & Receiving so you can begin packing your books and papers. You must empty out your space completely. Anything you leave behind will be trashed by Facilities. Please note that you will not be able to take the movable file drawers. They have to stay in M110 (and the desk keys too). The temporary desks will have shelves and drawers. The future permanent desks will have shelves and drawers as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the kneeling chairs belong to the group. If true, then you can take the kneeling chairs. I am not so sure about the regular sitting chairs. If you are super attached to a specific sitting chair, we could perhaps make a swap with the existing chairs in Cv002/004. In any case, we need to leave 8 working chairs for the 8 vacated desks, and possibly 1-2 more chairs for the common area desks in between the blackboards. Regarding shared group items (such as the printer, coffee machine, office supplies, reference books, ...), we need to coordinate efforts to transport and set up these items in the new space so no individual group member will bear the responsibility on his/her own. I suggest having the lucky folks in M109, M111 and M116A help with the shared items (then everyone can take part in the fun!). There's plenty of counter space, drawers, cabinets and shelves for storing these items. There's also a sink for the coffee machine. If you like, you can enter Cv002/004 now using your current lab key (numbered AX241). Let me know if your key does not work. Please do not start moving in your stuff until Facilities gives me the go-ahead. They still need to finish a few things before the temporary space is ready. We will not assign desks in the temporary space. You will need to duke it out amongst yourselves. We will however assign desks in the new permanent space when that time comes. We estimate our new permanent lab space will be ready in 1-2 months. We can try to minimize this time frame by moving out of M110 as quickly as possible (is a one-day move realistic?). The sooner we vacate M110, the sooner Facilities can get it ready for the Shakhnovich group to move in. And when the Shakhnovich group moves out of M104-105, Facilities can start getting the vacated space ready for us. Ok, bullet time: - Collect boxes, start packing. - File drawers - No. - Kneeling chairs - Yes. - Sitting chairs - Swap if necessary. - Volunteer to move shared group items. - Any questions, ask Anna. Thanks, Anna Anna B.

[Aspuru-Guzik group list] Coffee machine!

by Ivan Kassal

Dear Group, The coffee machine is operational again, in Cv002. There are now several new rules: 1. Before having a cup, you must wash *two *dirty cups and hang them up on the glassware hanging dowels. 2. When it says empty dregs, you can empty them in the sink. Unless the dregs are high in mercury, in which case Allen Aloise will fine you $20,000. 3. When it says fill water, you should fill it with the laboratory-grade deionized water from the *white* tap. This will spare me having to descale the machine. 4. If you have a coffee accident, you may use the eyewash fountain located adjacent to the coffee machine (the gentle stream also works well for watering plants, it turns out). If you have a big coffee accident, there is a conveniently located shower right outside the door. Stand on the yellow dots and pull the handle. Ivan PS. The results of the Great Coffee Experiment will be announced when I feel like it.

by Roberto Olivares-Amaya

Hello: Perhaps someone is interested in this fellowship. Roberto ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brenda Hugot <bhugot(a)fas.harvard.edu> Date: Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 4:03 PM Subject: Fwd: Harvard Sustainable Science Fellowship To: bhugot(a)fas.harvard.edu Subject: Harvard Sustainable Science Fellowship For doctoral, post-doc and mid-career fellows Applications due Dec 1 _________________________________________ Fellowships in Sustainability Science Harvard University's Center for International Development Due date for applications: December 1, 2009 The Sustainability Science Program at Harvard University's Center for International Development invites applications for resident fellowships in sustainability science for the University's academic year beginning in September 2010. The fellowship competition is open to advanced doctoral and post-doctoral students, and to mid-career professionals engaged in research or practice to facilitate the design, implementation, and evaluation of effective interventions that promote sustainable development. Applicants should describe how their work would contribute to "sustainability science," the emerging field of use-inspired research seeking understanding of the interactions between human and environmental systems as well as the application of such knowledge to sustainability challenges relating to advancing development of agriculture, habitation, energy and materials, health and water while conserving the earth's life support systems. This year we will give some preference to applicants who address the challenges related to meeting human needs for water or food/agriculture/land use in the context of sustainable development. In addition to general funds available to support this fellowship offering, special funding for the Giorgio Ruffolo Fellowships in Sustainability Science is available to support citizens of Italy or developing countries who are therefore especially encouraged to apply. The Sustainability Science Program is directed by Professors William Clark and Michael Kremer, and Nancy Dickson. For more information on the fellowships application process see http://www.cid.harvard.edu/sustsci/fellowship. Applications are due December 1, 2009. -- Brenda Hugot Program Administrator Harvard University Center for the Environment 24 Oxford St., 3rd Floor Cambridge, MA 02138 Tel: 617.496.1788 Fax: 617.496.0425 bhugot(a)fas.harvard.edu -- Roberto Olivares-Amaya Aspuru-Guzik Group Dept. of Chemistry and Chemical Biology Harvard University http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu
