LU Humanities Lab, March 2023

Welcome to Lund University Humanities Lab!

Its time for one of those irregular newsletters about what’s going on in the Humanities Lab! This time we deal with intense topics such as: helmets, coordinating 11 different organisations, corrosive chemicals, pointing (using not your fingers), and tags in the research portal.

Construction work in the Library @SOL during summer

This summer the faculty library @SOL will be renovated and that means that a lot of construction work will take place directly over the lab. And that means noise. As an experimental facility, we tend to dislike noise (if it is not an experiment about noise). So, for the summer, please have this in mind when planning experiments or other activities! We are not sure exactly when most of the noise will be, but the construction work will start in the beginning of June (week 24)  and then continue until the end of August.

Chemicals in the lab

Yes, we are a lab. No, we do not have white coats. But we do have chemicals. Mostly for disinfecting surfaces, equipment, and of course, hands. All chemicals that are not in use in a studio (like the EEG-lab), are stored in a cabinet in the storage room @SOL. With signs saying stuff like “danger” and “corrosive” on it. You can also find safety data sheets for all the chemicals in a binder on top of the cabinet, in case you want to know more about the dangerous and corrosive part.

New national infrastructure in the Lab!

Hooray and yes! We have a brand new national infrastructure, coordinated by the Lab! It also has a brand new webpage. Go on, have a look! Exciting things will happen under the Huminfra-umbrella, like workshops and courses. All info will be posted on the Huminfra page as well as the lab calendar.
 
Huminfra is a Swedish national infrastructure supporting digital and experimental research in the Humanities by providing users with a single entry point for finding existing Swedish materials and research tools, as well as developing national method courses. Huminfra is a consortium consisting of 11 universities and organisations across 12 nodes, coordinated by Lund University Humanities Lab. Huminfra is funded by the Swedish Research Council and the partner organisations.

…and on the topic of publications…

This is a friendly reminder to tag the Humanities Lab as infrastructure in the research portal Lucris. We know you know this, but as we said, just a reminder in case you somehow forgot. It is done really quickly, and allows us to brag (of course, in a humble way) about all the cool stuff our users do in the lab.
