He will do his best to respond to your issue, and he’s waving to you now. If you are experiencing technical difficulties during the session, please send a private chat message to George Xiang, who is labeled as DLS ECHO Tech. During the discussion, please unmute yourself to speak. Please use the video capabilities of whatever device you are using for this session as much as you can. Before we proceed, I want to briefly mention some technical details related to our ECHO biosafety session. This way, we get to know each other and know a little bit more of what you all do. Alright, so I appreciate everybody’s participation and sharing and turning on camera and mic. Nick Crosby: So I’m from the Utah Public Health Lab.Īufra Araujo: Utah– awesome, thank you. And sorry, I missed where you were calling from? We have about three more that I’m in the process of updating and getting in place. Nick Crosby: Yeah, so we have a spill response plan, which has a detailed section on what decontamination products we should use for individual spills. Nick Crosby, would you like to share with us about your decontamination policies or anything in your lab? Otherwise, little spills and things– we would obviously clean up ourselves.Īufra Araujo: Awesome. We have a large biosafety group that sets those policies and would help out with something like that if it was a major– something major get contaminated. And so a lot of our policies are policies that are university-wide. We’re also part of the University of Wisconsin, Madison. I’m calling from the Wisconsin State Lab of Hygiene, and we do have policies for decontamination in our laboratory. Would you like to unmute and just share with us? Just putting you on the spot.Įrin Bowles: Hello, everyone. Erin, you don’t have a camera, but would you like to say just a few words where you were calling from and if you do have or don’t have some type of decontamination policy or a chemical hygiene plan or something like that. Eating lunch– thanks for letting me know, OK, so– let’s see. OK,Īufra Araujo: Alright, I love seeing who is on the other side. I don’t see people turning on their cameras other than our speakers. Does your laboratory have policies on decontamination, such as a chemical hygiene plan, for instance? So if you can just enter in chat– yay or nay.Īlright, thanks for participating. So then, you know by now, if you have attended other ECHO sessions, that I always like to start with sometimes– some type of icebreaker. I’m not sure if anybody is calling from the phone. Do we have anybody just calling on the phone? If so, if you could unmute and just introduce yourself, say your name and where you are calling from. I would like to welcome all participants to maybe turn on their screens, have the courage to show their face to us, and say hi. For now, I’ll stop sharing briefly so we can see each other.
