In order to promote positive change to safety culture in UT labs, the Lab Safety Committee is continuing the Lab Safety Culture Awards Subcommittee this year. The theme for the fourth category of awards of 2024 was about lab stress management strategies. Quarter 4 awards were distributed in November 2024:
1st place: Tamanna Jafar – Graduate Student in Microbiology
1st place: Sarah Schwing – Graduate Student in Anthropology
3rd place: Jennifer Rybak – Graduate Student in Genome Science Technology/BCMB
Congratulations, winners!
New lab safety culture award categories will be announced quarterly. Submissions are open to everyone involved in research or working in a lab, shop, or maker space at UT. Announcements of new awards are sent through the Lab Safety ListServ, found on flyers around campus, and communicated during events. Please email ehs_labsafety@utk.edu to request to be added to the Lab Safety ListServ if you are not already enrolled.
