ADMINISTRATIVE ACCESS FOR TRAVELERS LAPTOPS
If you have a laptop that will be used outside the local area, you can request an administrative account on the computer. These are available as secondary accounts you can use when the regular work accounts have insufficient permissions for a task, such as loading software, fixing problems or making configuration changes when the computer is abroad.
To request an administrative account, please contact the Computing Services Group (CSG).
If you need an advance for travel expenses you should submit your request to Beverly Gedvillas via the DNS HelpDesk at least two weeks before you need to have the funds in hand. All travel advances on restricted accounts must be approved by the Division's Finance Coordinator, Evelyn Stilson-Ouderkirk, before they can be processed; Beverly will take care of getting Evelyn's approval for you.
There are two types of advances. A Travel Advance (the most common type of advance) is used to support trips to scientific meetings, etc. A Site Project Advance is used for work conducted at a remote location under a sponsored project. A site project advance can provide for supplies, local travel expenses, food, lodging and costs for local workers. The travel and work must be approved in the budget associated with your sponsored project. All travel advances on restricted accounts must be approved by the Division's Grant and Contract Administrator (Diana Wixson) before they can be processed; Beverly will take care of getting Diana's approval for you.
If you have any questions about travel advances, site project advances or travel reimbursements please contact Beverly Gedvillas at 5-0130.

General Laboratory Safety
The most important aspect of working in a laboratory is safety. The Division of Nutritional Sciences stresses safety in its laboratories at all times. Everyone working in a laboratory must comply with the OSHA Laboratory Standard and the Cornell Chemical Hygiene Plan. Besides being familiar with these guidelines, you should also be familiar with the location of the Cornell University Laboratory Safety Manual and Chemical Hygiene Plan. There is a hard copy of this document in room 124 Savage Hall on the shelf to the left as you enter. The internet location is: http://www.ehs.cornell.edu/LRS/LSM.cfm. Laboratory workers should check with their professors about the toxicity of substances used in their laboratory and follow the procedures outlined in their laboratory protocols and/or Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Nearly all chemicals in the laboratory will have a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) with important information about each chemical. Laboratory workers need to know how to access the MSDS for any chemical they use. The MSDS access may be either a bookmarked internet location on a lab computer or a hard copy located in a binder in the lab.
Chemical Safety Training
Every person who will be working in a laboratory is required to take the safety classes "Cornell Laboratory Safety" and "Chemical Waste Disposal". These are both on-line classes which can be accessed through the Cornell EH&S training website. Other training may be appropriate depending on the work being done. Your training needs can be determined using the training tool on that same site.
If you will be working in a laboratory you should know that:
-
No food or beverages should be consumed in the laboratory or stored in laboratory refrigerators. Personal Protective Equipment "PPE" (lab coats, aprons, gloves, shoes and goggles) should be worn in any potentially hazardous situation. Open toe shoes are not safe to wear in a laboratory. Your first line of defense from any chemical, radioactive, or medical contamination is protective clothing. Proper eye protection must be worn by all students, instructors, and visitors in any potentially hazardous situations. Each laboratory should be equipped with all the necessary PPE. The last individual to leave a laboratory is responsible for closing the laboratory at the end of the day by making sure that gas, lights, water and all appropriate equipment are turned off and that windows are closed. If equipment must be left running overnight or during a weekend, the user must post his/her name and telephone number in a prominent place. Flooding in laboratories can cause extensive damage; water should be turned off at night unless explicit permission is obtained by the professorial faculty member responsible for the laboratory. If you have permission from the responsible faculty member to leave water running overnight you should make sure that all hose connections are securely fastened and that sink drains have no foreign debris to clog them. Remove all personal protective equipment prior to leaving the lab.
-
All gas tanks, full or empty, must be properly chained to a wall or bench. When tanks are moved, they should be securely chained to a hand truck designed for this purpose. Gas tanks cannot be stored in corridors.
-
No electrical appliances brought from home should be used in any laboratory without approval from the DNS Facilities Manager, Al Armstrong. Each principal investigator (PI) in DNS is responsible for ordering and managing the use of controlled substances, if required as part of a research project. This means the PO must acquire both a New York State (NYS) and Federal license before any controlled substance (as defined by NYS and Federal law) can be ordered. The NYS license must be acquired before the Federal license can be obtained. The NYS application must be submitted by mail. Once the NYS license is obtained, the PI can obtain the Federal license online. In applying for these licenses, the PI should choose the Class 4 Researcher classification. The PI should submit a CV and a controlled substance protocol as part of the NYS application. Also, the PI should claim exemption from the fees for both the NYS and Federal licenses, since the Contract Colleges at Cornell are part of SUNY, a state institution.
-
A PI should plan for at least 6-8 weeks time to obtain these licenses.If you have questions or concerns about laboratory safety and training, including proper waste disposal procedures, contact Lawrence Hirschberger or Al Armstrong (Co-DSR and Facilities Manager).

One of the Division's major benefits is its ongoing nutritional research. The faculty and students come from all over the world and their interests cover everything from food policy to molecular biology (and many topics within that range). Many weekly seminars offer an opportunity to learn more about your particular area of interest, but more importantly, to broaden your perspective about the interdisciplinary field of nutritional sciences. A weekly schedule is posted for all seminars on the first floor of Savage Hall and next to the mail boxes on the third floor of MVR Hall.
Field Seminars are held every Monday at 4:00 p.m. in 100 Savage. Field seminars cover a wide variety of topics by visiting experts as well as DNS faculty or graduate students. Attendance at this seminar is an important part of meeting faculty and other students and discussing a variety of issues: everything from policy-making to molecular biology. All graduate students and faculty are encouraged to attend.
Other DNS Seminars:
-
International Nutrition Seminar
-
Nutritional Biochemistry Colloquium
-
Community Nutrition Seminar
The Division receives notices about other seminars on campus. These notices are posted on a seminar bulletin board on the 1st floor of Savage Hall and the 3rd Floor of MVR Hall's main building.
Researchers in the Division of Nutritional Sciences use a wide spectrum of statistical tools to describe, analyze and report their data. Much of the research conducted requires the use of substantial computing on microcomputers and shared computers.
The Cornell Statistical Consulting Unit provides extensive services and instruction to support research and undergraduate and graduate studies, including: research design, data acquisition, data manipulation, basic data analysis, planning and interpreting statistical analysis, implementing statistical analysis, and provision of statistical software.
The rationale for providing these services is that statistical design and statistical software are complicated. Knowing conceptually which analyses should be performed is essential but not sufficient. It is also necessary to know how to get software to perform those analyses. Furthermore, course work in statistics provides essential background for students, but students typically do not really begin to understand statistics until they apply it to their own work. Consequently, from an educational perspective, it is important that expertise in statistics and in the implementation of statistical analysis is available throughout the time that students are conducting their research.
Statistical Consulting: The Cornell Statistical Consulting Unit (CSCU) is a professional service group that aims to strengthen research on campus by assisting scholars with using statistical methods in their research in the most optimal way. The statistical consulting, instructional, and infrastructure services are coordinated to provide advice and support the use and learning of the latest methodology for undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and the entire research community. CSCU offers a pool of consultants, faculty and staff statisticians, with a vast array of statistical background, talent and expertise. CSCU provides researchers with statistical consultation through daily walk-in sessions and by appointment. Assistance is provided with study design and preparation of grant proposals, planning and implementation of statistical analysis, interpretation of results and preparation and revision of manuscripts. CSCU also offers workshops introducing a vast area of statistical techniques and also considers contract work, including performing statistical analysis, for clients. The Cornell Institute for Social and Economic Research (CISER) provides assistance with use of data files and statistical analysis software, and training to all of our faculty and graduate students. CISER maintains a data archive that is one of the foremost in the country for social science data and other government-collected data sets.
To schedule an appointment contact Francoise Vermeylen (5-8211, B11 Savage). The CSCU also hold walk-in consulting in the office every day from 1:30 to 2:00 PM for questions that take less than ten minutes to resolve. More information about the office is available at the web site.
The Division strongly encourages graduate students to take one or two semesters of statistics, depending upon concentration, in the first academic year. Graduate students in the field of nutrition take BTRY 601 (Statistical Methods 1) in the Fall, and either BTRY 602 (Statistical Methods II) or AEM 710 (Econometrics 1) in the Spring.
For campus calls, you need only to dial the last 5 digits of the campus phone number. All campus numbers begin with the prefix 253-, 254-, or 255-. For all calls made outside of campus you will need to dial 9 to get an outside line. For local calls you will need to dial 9 and the 7-digit number. Personal long-distance calls can be made using a prepaid calling card or by calling collect. Business long-distance calls can be direct charged to a Cornell account by using an authorization code. If you have funds in a Cornell account, or your supervisor/advisor authorizes you to use his/her account, you should contact Donna Whiting (5-2711; 119 Savage Hall) via the DNS HelpDesk to have a telephone/fax authorization code established for your use.
Fill out this form to receive reimbursements for travel expenses. If you have any questions, please contact Beverly Gedvillas at 5-0130.
USE OF PERSONAL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES
