CPS meeting on Monday, March 23
by Salman Habib 20 Mar '20

20 Mar '20

Hi Everyone, We will have our (remote) divisional meeting at the usual time, see BJ info below. It will focus mostly on telecommuting realities and a number of things that need doing (webpages, GPU workshop, activating focus groups, interdivisional positions, CASE appointments, postdoc program, student recruiting, etc.). Also, looking for volunteers to give talks at following remote meetings. If you have any thoughts, please bring them with you to the meeting!

Lab goes to MinSafe
by Salman Habib 20 Mar '20

20 Mar '20

Hi Everyone, As you learnt from the Director's email we are now (5pm, Saturday, March 21, that is) in MinSafe ops until at least April 7 (or sooner, if Illinois lifts the stay-at-home order). Under MinSafe, we are all restricted from entering the Lab unless notified appropriately in writing. After 5pm tomorrow you will no longer be allowed to enter the Lab unless you have a special access-allowed badge. In practical terms, MinSafe should not affect our work, because we can telecommute. If there is anyone who believes that they cannot telecommute 100% of the time, they should send me an email (or respond in Basecamp). At this time a basic priority is personal and public safety, so please take these concerns extremely seriously. To learn more about MinSafe and other COVID-19-related information, go to the internal MyArgonne page. You can send queries to coronavirus(a)anl.gov. As always, feel free to get in touch with Tim or me via email/Slack/Basecamp/phone. All the Best Salman

Informal
by Salman Habib 20 Mar '20

20 Mar '20

Hi Everyone, I hope things are going well (or as well as can be expected) in the new world of telecommuting. I was thinking it would be a good idea for us to stay in touch as a division and to have some general discussion as needed. Of course, we will have our Monday talk/meetings as planned. But it might be nice to have one other scheduled informal chat/videocon/slack session during the week. Thoughts? Salman PS You can respond on the Basecamp thread that this email mirrors (or on the general CPS slack channel).

Argonne access
by Salman Habib 19 Mar '20

19 Mar '20

Hi Everyone, Please note you are absolutely not allowed to be at the Lab without explicit permission. If you need to come in for a nontrivial reason, check with your supervisor and then I have to give the final approval. I hope this is clear. Salman

Re: Summer students
by Jin, Xiaoyong 17 Mar '20

Hi Salman, I'm expecting a student coming in the summer with LCF funds, but I don't know what is the current status of the hiring process, and I'm not sure about the dates. Shannon Lindgren is managing the hiring process and she has shared a box file with me that has all the CELS student information. Perhaps Samantha can get more details from her?
