Vacancies on the Chemical Hygiene/Safety CommitteeGraduate students interested in joining the Chemistry Department Chemical Hygiene and Safety Committee are invited to submit their names to Marsha Myles, email: mmyles@mit.edu. Members of the Committee participate in inspections of department laboratories (approximately one inspection per month) and attend meetings (ca.2 per year) to discuss and formulate Chemistry Department safety policy. No prior experience in safety-related matters is necessary. |
Call Ed Udas at 253-4505 or stop by room 4-065 if students, faculty, or staff need help in organizing their MIT space.
Bob DiGiacomo will be coming in on Wednesdays or Thursdays to pick up any glass blowing work that you may have available. Please bring any work to room 4-064 or call Ed Udas or John Annese at 3-4505. Bob will do the work on a first-come, first-served basis
