Hello everyone,
Its time for autumn lab cleanup! 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.
Below is the link to vote, I will check the votes on monday and if there is enough (more than 5 winning votes), I will close the vote. https://webapp.oulu.fi/framadate/studs.php?poll=SKnZZQ2BfSvbbmZv
Thanks, Petri Sundqvist

Hello once more,
I will close the voting now, Thursday, April 18th at 9:00 has the most votes. We could meet at the climate rooms at that date and time. I would guess 1-2 hours should suffice!
BR, Petri Sundqvist

Just a reminder to vote on the cleaning day, I will close the voting this Friday. Currently it looks like Thursday 18th of April at 9:00 is leading.

Hello everybody,
Last lab cleanup for this semester would be the pre-treatment and climate rooms during some day in the last two whole weeks of April. Here is the voting link:
https://webapp.oulu.fi/framadate/studs.php?poll=BOcGoLjCPwPMvHeB Poll - Cleanup date for pre-treatment and climate rooms - Framadatehttps://webapp.oulu.fi/framadate/studs.php?poll=BOcGoLjCPwPMvHeB Framadate is an online service for planning an appointment or make a decision quickly and easily. webapp.oulu.fi
This doesnt cleanup affect as many people, but I would like to ask the people who have worked in these premises to vote and participate. 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.
BR, Petri Sundqvist

Hello,
I will close this voting now, it looks like Monday, 12th of February at 9:00 might be a good time to have the cleanup. This way we can hopefully have them melt during the working day, and we can put them back on afternoon. We could meet in front of the molecular laboratories with those who would like to participate.

Hello everybody,
Just a reminder to vote for the freezer cleanup date in the link below if you are interested. 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.
BR, Petri Sundqvist

Hello everybody,
As we have now welcomed the year 2024 with some crispy weather, I would like to propose we could do the freezer/fridge cleanup in our unit during February which was discussed in our lab cleanup in September. 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!
Hopefully you are having a nice start for the year, Petri Sundqvist

Hello everybody,
Thank you for the good attendance for the laboratory cleanup event yesterday. 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!
BR,
Petri Sundqvist

Hello again,
Just a reminder, that we will arrange the lab cleanup tomorrow starting at 9:00. We can meet at the entrance to molecular labs!

Hello Everybody,
I will close the voting for the cleanup, and we will arrange it on the Tuesday 26th at 9:00 with 15 votes. 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

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. In this case I will pick the earlier date, but let’s see until tomorrow if the situation changes!
BR,
Petri Sundqvist

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
