New workshop by Rita Almeida

The next workshop on statistical analysis of neuroimaging data by Rita Almeida will be held on Tuesday, 3rd of April from 9.00 to 12.30.

The first 2 hours will be held at the Tellus room, Dept. of Neuroscience, Retzius Väg 8, KI Solna. The last part, the tutorial, will take place in the computer room Space, close to the library at the Solna Campus.

It is prepared to be a stand-alone overview.

10.00-10.45: " Bayesian methods in neuroimaging - part II", this seminar will focus on more technical aspects and examples.

Here, but busy

There are actually any number of things to blog about: guests, the Brain Imaging course, dissertations that went well... but due to illness and now the demanding task of running the Brain Imaging course there is just no time. Expect a series of posts sometime next week with the details!

Timer functioning again!

Dalkia realized our terrible need for a functioning coffee maker and fixed the broken timer on the power outlet already this afternoon!

Broken coffee maker power outlet

The power outlet in the R43 pentry which is equipped with a timer has broken. There is another outlet without a timer, but please do not connect the coffee machine to that outlet! It is too easy to forget the machine and leave it turned on until it runs dry, breaks down and starts a fire.

Proof in point: this Saturday Leif came by R43 and noticed a bad smell. He found the coffee machine connected to the outlet without a timer, turned on and almost dry. So it is quite possible that there could have been a fire at R43 this weekend, if not for Leif's chance stopping-by!

Dalkia has been notified of the broken outlet and has also been told that we would like to have it fixed ASAP.
