We have emergency power in the following research buildings: Basic Sciences, Medical Research Building, Building 17, Galveston National Laboratory, Shope Lab, Old Shrine, Surgical Research Annex, Mary Moody Northen, Dockside, Ewing Hall and Keiller. It is critically important for researchers who have laboratories in any OTHER building to send their “E1 early-return” staff tomorrow so their freezers can be replenished with dry ice. We have received 60,000 pounds of dry ice in the last two days. The laboratory “E1 early return” staff from any other buildings who did not show up today are encouraged to return tomorrow to replenish dry ice if necessary and to assess the state of their laboratories.
Please, only one E1 staff member per laboratory group should return. Please report to the MRB lobby starting at 9:00 tomorrow and wear closed-toed shoes.
We need help moving animal materials and cages because the elevators in several buildings are not yet operational. This is important work to preserve our animal colonies. Any research staff living on Galveston Island — or any UTMB research staff living off-island — who have E1 badges are welcomed to join the ARC team with these important moves tomorrow.
Please report to MRB lobby after 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. Our work stabilizing our important research repositories is making good progress. We appreciate your help.
