Yearly lab cleanup date
by Petri Sundqvist 17 Oct '24

17 Oct '24

Hello Everybody, Here is the long promised calendar voting link for the yearly lab cleanup, which will be arranged on the last two weeks of September: https://webapp.oulu.fi/framadate/studs.php?poll=dzJVegtsQJ23KIzT I will close this vote in 7 days on 13th of September, which is next weeks Wednesday. 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. BR, Petri Sundqvist

Koneen säätiön vetoomus vanhojen metsien suojelemiseksi
by Anna-Maria Pirttilä 28 Jul '24

28 Jul '24

Hallituksen uusien (11.6. laatimien) kriteereiden perusteella metsiä jotka on ennestään määritelty vanhoiksi ja suojeltaviksi voidaan nyt ottaa hakkuisiin, eli vanhojen metsien määrä Suomessa putoaa entisestään. Tämä on pahasti ristiriidassa EU:n biodiversiteettistrategian kanssa, mihin Suomi on sitoutunut. Tutkijoiden vetoomus allekirjoituskierroksella 5.8. saakka. Allekirjoita, jos voit! koneensaatio.fi/tutkijavetoomus<http://koneensaatio.fi/tutkijavetoomus> Based on the new criteria of the Finnish government, many forests that were previously defined as old and protectable can now be harvested. Therefore, the number of old forests in Finland will drop drastically so that basically there are no old forests left in the Southern Finland. This is highly contradictory to the EU Biodiversity strategy, which Finland has also committed to. Petition of Kone Foundation in the signature round until 5.8., please sign if you can! (Unfortunately the petition is only in Finnish, please use Google translate) Terveisin / Best wishes, Anna Maria
