[Physics-grads-announce] Rodents in Physics Graduate Offices

[Robert N Sanderson]

Attn. Graduate Students in the Physics Building:

Over the past week, there have been three separate rodent incidents in the first-year graduate offices. This includes a live mouse reported today. Upon inspecting the room, I found a good amount of food and food wrappers unattended. I would like to remind you that you should not leave any food unattended in the physics building, even if it is enclosed in a drawer or a sealed container. Rodents have a keen sense of smell, and will be drawn to your food, even if they can't reach it. This is especially important to keep in mind as the weather remains warm and rodents will be seeking shelter from the heat.

  *   Take food and food waste with you when you leave rooms.
  *   Do not leave snack wrappers in the trash cans.
  *   Do not fill a drawer with apples or other snacks (or a mouse will relieve itself on your desk)

Thank you,

Robert Sanderson, (this isn't what I imagined when I got my ) PhD
