Visitors -- We welcome everyone at the public seminars and meetings at NYSBC.

Those formally affiliated with the Center are welcome during all working hours. However, we do not permit visitors who are not affiliates into the controlled areas of the building other than when they are escorted by NYSBC staff. Please advise us in advance of your needs to bring in visitors. This rule is needed because of
  1. the impossibility of having trained staff safely supervising visitors other than by escorting them,
  2. some unusual hazards (especially the fringe fields),
  3. the size and complexity of the building in the case of required evacuation (e.g. for fire)
  4. need for security in a BSL2 facility

Becoming an NYSBC affiliate.

Changed:
<
<		All users of the Center's resources must become affiliated with NYSBC. All affiliates require Affiliation Endorsement from their Institution's representative(s) on NYSBC's scientific committee.

  • Faculty of the Member Institutions should inquire of their Departmental Chairs, or Deans to become affiliated Faculty. For further information, they may wish to consult their Institution's representative(s) on NYSBC's scientific committee, who can supply Affiliation Endorsement.
  • Postdoctoral Associates should inquire of their Principal Investigator and with their approval have a member of NYSBC's scientific committee supply Affiliation Endorsement.
  • Graduate Students of the Member Institutions should inquire of their Research Director, or Dean of Students. Graduate Students will need to have a member of NYSBC's scientific committee supply an Affiliation Endorsement
  • Undergraduates of the Member Institutions should associate themselves with faculty research programs in their Member Institution, and then inquire of their Research Director.

Because of limitations of resources and personnel, most uses of the instruments at the Center are allocated by the Member Institutions' own faculty representative to the Scientific Committee of NYSBC.
