  • She will also request access logs from UCPD on behalf of us since it's faster for her to do it
  • Do we need a regular scheduled time for maintenance? (Eleanor asks since she wants to schedule professional staff to be available when we need)

  • No plans to reopen the lab anytime soon (paraphrased from dphan)
