-We are in the process of **merging the Innovation Workshop and Microfluidics Lab FBS Listings.** Once we are finished, you will be able to see all tool calendars from one location, rather than having to switch between facilities. **In the meantime, please continue using the separate facilities as usual.** We will send another update once the merge is complete, as well as an email announcement to all users.
+I am **now accepting applications for undergraduate staff** for the 2024-2025 academic year. I will likely close the application period around 5/24 and begin interviews. I am hoping to find 3-4 new hires that can begin as soon as June 17. If you are interested, {{ :announcements:staff_job_description.pdf | please see this job description }}, which also contains application instructions.

+**The Innovation Workshop and Microfluidics Lab have been merged into one FBS facility.** Please ensure that you are working inside the new facility, appropriately named "Innovation Workshop & Microfluidics Lab". Let us know if you have any questions or notice anything missing.
-The **Trotec laser cutter has been repaired.** A flange that holds the compressed air line sheared. We made a replacement flange with the waterjet and reattached the compressed air line. Please pay extra attention to your cuts for the next week or so and email bdincau@ucsb.edu if you notice anything out of the ordinary.

 We now have a [[https://forms.gle/YvvXqV18izy4TumY6 | Microfluidics Lab & Innovation Workshop Feedback Form!]]
 Please use this form to let us know how we are doing, as well as provide suggestions for potential new tools or procedures.

-**We have redesigned our silanization chamber.** The new chamber features polymer valves and fittings which should not corrode like the stainless steel fittings used in the previous chamber. The silane agent is also stored in a sealed glass container now, so we can easily see when it is running low. Please take a moment to [[vapor_silanation_rig_sop_new | review the new SOP]] before using the tool. Report any issue to the lab manager, and note them in the log book.
