Re: [Biolaitos] Autumn 2024 lab cleanup
by Petri Sundqvist 15 Oct '25

15 Oct '25

Hello again everyone, I'll start by thanking everyone for participating in the laboratory cleanup last Friday, the attendance was impressive and we got a lot of cleaning done. There are still some places that we missed so here is a list of things that people working on those premises could tidy up. Lab spaces still needing some cleaning up to do before the 360 figures can be taken: B167a: The farthest working tables in the molecular lab: Tables are still quite full of extra clutter and not very presentative for the 360 figures. People working in the space could try to think what is actually needed on the table and what could be placed on the cupboards. B159, tables around the KingFisher DNA-extraction machine: People using this space, please clean the tables from extra plates and unmarked samples. Kits could be placed in the cabinets(?) [cid:4646f115-f2d2-45a1-8b6b-449296a5360f] B151 (freezer room) and B168 (cold room for liquid nitrogen) needs some cleaning. B104: There is still quite a lot stuff on the tables. Please clean all the things that are not currently used away from the tables (or floors). Those things that are needed in the current ongoing work can stay of course, but the space is not meant as a storage room. [cid:00fe32df-82cf-45e0-a55e-958dd4136ec8][cid:0c62f6e9-0ed8-4131-ab4c-52541f9cc1e8] B160a and other spaces with draining boards still full of stuff: Please clean all the sink areas/draining boards from extra clutter. [cid:e79e5614-7e97-4b11-a73a-109b406b47e5] The 360 pictures from In vitro spaces and teaching lab B137 will be taken after the courses this fall have ended. Important message from the laboratory technicians: MARK YOUR WASTE PROPERLY !!! (See the bad examples on the following picture) Fume hoods are not meant for storing waste! Unknown waste is the most expensive waste type to be disposed. Even if it would be just water or ethanol, but the waste container has not been marked properly, the waste will be disposed as unknown waste. This is an important thing to remember, as we all know, our budget is quite tight (and I don't think anyone wants to lose any more of our lab spaces). Also it is not very nice for the laboratory technicians to try to figure out what is in the badly marked containers (e.g., possibly smelling toxic chemicals). More information how to properly mark or dispose your waste can be found from the Ecology and Genetics Laboratory Guide (found from coffee room, S-drive->Biologia->Yhteiset, or molecular lab table B167a) or you can ask help from our laboratory technicians. [cid:b35ad4d8-33a6-418b-891f-a15e5cfe1a8d] We also want to remind that the Ecology and Genetics Laboratory Guide states that Do not eat (chewing gum counts), drink, or bring/store any food/drinks in the laboratories. Food and drink consumption increases the risk of exposure to chemicals. This is most importantly for your personal safety! Thanks again for the participation and hopefully we get good pictures of the laboratories for the 360. We will let you know when the actual date and time when the pictures will be taken in later email, but hopefully within a week or two.

We are hoping that we could clean every lab to such condition, that we could take 360° pictures of the labs so all tabletops should be clean. We of course encourage to also go through your vboxes and freezers, but main focus is for the lab to look good in pictures.

I am hoping we can tidy up the rooms and clean some of the cabins. I noticed that the freezers in these rooms were already marked in the freezer cleanup which is nice. I will close this voting around 5th of April which is Friday next week. We could then meet in the pre-treatment lab at the time and date chosen by vote.

We will urge to go through the freezers and if it has picked up a lot of ice inside (and depending on the weather forecast) we can take the samples outside or try to fit into other freezers while the permafrost melts. We have noticed some freezers have so much ice that the boxes dont open, so I think these could be dealt easily this way. I will also try to arrange a lab cleanup for the pre-treament and climate rooms later during the spring, hopefully before the summer season.

I think we could again vote with Framadate and I will choose January 31st the date with most votes. Here is the link to vote on the date: https://webapp.oulu.fi/framadate/studs.php?poll=sPRyb8agJpI7hbVt The idea is to encourage everybody to go through their own freezers/fridges and renew the names and dates on the doors/lids. Remember to mark the doors/lids with SURNAME/MONTH/NAME for example (SUNDQVIST 1/2024). If the date is older than 2 years, the freezers/fridges will be evaluated by our lab people, taken to common use (which might mean keeping them in storage for future) or discarded if there is nothing valuable inside. We already had a bit of suffling and stuffing after the 2023 field season to fit all the material in the freezers, so if all goes to plan we might be able to free some more room for the next season!

Looks like we got most of the molecular labs and multipurpose lab clean. There are still three things I’d like to address: 1. The fumehoods are still stuffed with waste and other stuff that should be cleaned right after the work is finished (picture attached). If you know these belong to your group, please take action and ask for help if needed in disposal. 2. We had limited time to go through the freezers and fridges, so we will likely arrange “Christmas/NewYear cleanup” that could focus on freezers + the growrooms + pre-treatment lab/esikäsittelylabra which were not included today, but I will arrange a vote about it later on. 3. Regarding the reservation of spaces, we were able to free two spots which will be reservable from the laboratory blueprint. This is still a bit work in progress, but there will be instructions on the work spot once we can finalize them. Remember to clean after yourself when you finish the work, so next one can start right away. Thank you again for the good spirit in the cleanup!

I think the event will only need around 2 hours. We can again meet at the entrance/post table of molecular labs. I will also clarify that in the original email I stated: “...because we have to clear the cabins and shelves of long term storage items (in molecular labs) and move those to the cardboard box storage” by which we do not mean clean all the cabins of all the stuff. We encourage to clean the long term storage items to cardboard box storage, and hopefully with this move we can clean enough items to have the lowest shelves of every desk empty. This would allow us to use the reservation system more conveniently, as in: 1. You make a reservation on the map that will be at the entrance to molelabs 2. Collect the items that are not yet in the lab from the cardboard box storage 3. Bring them to the lowest shelf for the duration of the reservation 4. After you no longer need the space, empty the lowest shelf to make room for the next user BR, Petri Sundqvist Lähettäjä: Petri Sundqvist <Petri.Sundqvist(a)oulu.fi<mailto:Petri.Sundqvist@oulu.fi>> Lähetetty: Tuesday, 12 September 2023 14.14 Vastaanottaja: Petri Sundqvist <Petri.Sundqvist(a)oulu.fi<mailto:Petri.Sundqvist@oulu.fi>>; Biolaitos(a)lists.oulu.fi<mailto:Biolaitos@lists.oulu.fi>; bioposti(a)lists.oulu.fi<mailto:bioposti@lists.oulu.fi> Aihe: VS: Yearly lab cleanup date Hello Everybody, Just a quick reminder to vote on the link below for the cleanup date of the laboratories, currently there is a draw between Tuesday 19th at 9:00 and Tuesday 26th at 9:00.

This year we will focus on Molecular Labs, Cardboard Box Storage (which is the second floor storage near microbe laboratory) and Multipurpose laboratory (where I sit nowadays). We will be printing a blueprint of the molecular labs where every user can reserve the table space of molecular lab corridors/slots for your group a few weeks at a time. This way we can maximize the use of table space which has been running low. We are also asking for every group who works in the molecular labs to join the cleanup day, because we have to clear the cabins and shelves of long term storage items and move those to the cardboard box storage, or the more often used things to the storage next to deep freezer room. We are also hoping to transfer all the empty pipette tip boxes to cardboard box storage, since they need to be refilled in order to be valuable in the laboratory. We also encourage everybody to go through the Cardboard Box Storage and renew the names and dates on the boxes. If the date is older than 2 years, the boxes will be evaluated by our lab people, taken to common use (which might mean keeping them in storage for future) or discarded if there is nothing valuable there. Currently there are quite many boxes labelled to year 2021 so after the turn of year 2024 they will be evaluated. We will also be cleaning the Multipurpose laboratory. We will be placing all the unmarked stuff that is stored here also in cardboard boxes and transfer them into the cardboard box storage. The boxes will be labelled Multipurpose Lab and the labels will not be renewed in the coming years, so if you have a feeling your stuff is here, please join the laboratory cleaning day.

Hello everybody, Very imporant reminder, we are no longer AT ALL allowed to buy anything from VWR. If we continue to do so meaningfully or by mistake, we will be punished by fines. This is set by law (see below). All the purchases must be done from Fisher Scientific, meaning we procure them from Petra Huuhka from City-Lab. If Petra cannot deliver us the items, then we can try to find it elsewhere (for example specific primers, kits etc) BR, Petri Sundqvist From: Sari Maunu <Sari.Maunu(a)oulu.fi> Subject: Ohiostot Hyvä dekaani, yksikön johtaja, ostolaskun hyväksyjä ja yksikön controller, Yliopisto on tehnyt ostolaskujen tarkastuksia osana normaalia toiminnantarkastusta.

Antarctica contains 90% of the Earth’s ice and has the potential to make a significant contribution to global mean sea-level rise. Although most ice sheet melting so far has occurred when warm ocean waters flow under the peripheral ice shelves, high air temperatures have led to significant ice melting in some regions of coastal Antarctica, e.g. the Antarctic Peninsula. With climate models suggesting that regional air temperatures will increase over the coming decades, a key priority in polar research is to understand the conditions that lead to the extreme high temperature events and their subsequent impacts on surface melting. A better understanding of the process would help us to derive more accurate projections of their future occurrence and better understand their impacts on ice sheet mass balance. High temperature events can have a major impact of the Antarctic environment and ecosystems. The synoptic situation at the time often consists of a warm ridge extending towards Antarctica in association with strong meridional flow. Large magnitude, more persistent events have been linked to atmospheric rivers, which are narrow bands of warm, moist air originating in lower latitudes. It remains puzzling that some of the high temperature events have been preceded by downslope flow from the interior of Antarctica, where the air is normally much colder than the coast. Many of these events involve complex interactions between the air, ocean and ice and the dynamical aspects of extreme high temperature events remain poorly understood. The aims of this project are to investigate high temperature events over coastal Antarctica using a combination of station observations, observationally constrained reconstructions assimilated data sets as well as regional climate simulations. It will also examine how these extreme events impact on surface melting of the ice sheet and the development of supraglacial lakes, with potential implications for ice shelf stability via hydrofracturing."
