For months we have been demanding to have microwaves in the break-out spaces on each floor at the Crick. So far our calls have been met with resistance. We want change. We want microwaves on all floors. NOW!

By now most of us have experienced the daily 15 minute-long queue for the canteen microwaves on the ground floor. Five microwaves for a building of 1250+ people is insufficient to say the least. It would be invaluable to have access to a nearby microwave when doing time-sensitive experiments or trying to meet that important deadline. In order to adhere to the Crick core values of being Bold, Imaginative, Open, Dynamic and Collegial, we need to get on with our ground-breaking discovery science, not waste our time in a queue FOR NO REASON.

Please sign this petition, and include your floor and quadrant, if you agree we should be allowed to have microwaves in each floor's break-out space.
