Viva Practice

Are you a student who wants to practice their presentation for a viva or conference? Physically Speaking is a new informal group for PhD students to work on their presentation skills by giving talks to other students. If you are keen, give me a message with a possible title for a talk (around 15 minutes long with a further 5-10 mins for questions). The next set of 2 talks will take place in January and already have speakers, but we need speakers for the February talks. Contact j.edholm@lancaster.ac.uk

Drinking Water

The only water suitable for drinking is that which comes from the “zip” taps in the breakout areas. The cold water from the sinks and wash basins has been in a storage tank in the plant room and should not be used for drinking. The “zip” taps are the additional taps on the sinks which provide hot & cold water for drinking.

Physics Christmas Celebrations

I am arranging a celebration for all Physics staff, PG and UG students which will take place in the afternoon of Friday 16th December. You should have just received an invitation with full details via Eventbrite. Note that the invitation could end up in your Junk E-mail folder so please check it if does not arrive in your inbox.

Reminder that the Physics Christmas lunch will take place at 1230hrs on Thursday 22nd December in the function room (upstairs) of The Borough, Dalton Square, Lancaster. If you have not yet booked your place please come and see me by next Friday 9th December latest.

Please see page 2 of this link for details of the menu: http://www.theboroughlancaster.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/xmas-menu-2016-Borough-final.pdf I’ll take your menu choices when you pay me, (£15 for two courses/ £18 for three courses). There is the option of having Prosecco at £3.75 a glass (to be purchased on the day).

We will also have mince pies and drinks before the Christmas lunch at 1130 in the atrium (no need to book a place).

For the events that are being held in the Physics Atrium we would appreciate that you dispose of your rubbish before leaving so that admin staff and the cleaners are not put upon.
