The focus of this year\u2019s visits will be on UG recruitment and teaching.<\/p>\n As usual there will be two meetings and both will be held in C36:<\/p>\n Part 1: Whole department (0930 \u2013 1030hrs)<\/em><\/p>\n (Please make sure that the department\u2019s approach to assessment and feedback, retention, the NSS and employability is covered as part of this presentation; other areas to consider could include degree outcomes).<\/p>\n Part 2: PEC members (1030 \u2013 1130hrs)<\/em> Grainne Wilkinson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s a pleasure to announce that Licia gave birth to a little girl, Phoebe, on Sunday morning (16 April). \u00a0Both are now back at home and doing well.\u00a0Congratulations to both Licia and Matt!<\/p>\n Jim Wild<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There are still some grants available for IOP members who wish to attend a physics related conference or event and would find it helpful to have some financial assistance towards the additional caring costs that may result from attending such an event. The application process is straightforward and decisions are usually communicated in under seven days.<\/p>\n Any IOP member can apply for up to \u00a3250 to help with the costs of additional caring for children or other dependents that may be required if you were to be attending a physics related conference or event.<\/p>\n Full details can be found on this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n Isobel Hook<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Please see below details of scheduled works on the Physics refurbishment project for week commencing Monday 3rd April.<\/p>\n Physics scheduled works:<\/strong><\/p>\n Should you have any queries regarding the project please contact the Senior Project Manager, Helen Wood, via the Facilities Helpdesk on facilities.helpdesk@lancaster.ac.uk<\/a> or 01524 593333.<\/p>\n Marketing and Communications<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Accessible Toilets Alarms, associated alarms and fire refuge point alarms testing in Physics Building will take place week commencing Monday 1st May 2017 from 9am daily.<\/p>\n Every 2nd week there is a quick test to ensure all Emergency Alarms \u00a0are operational.<\/p>\n Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Department will shortly be undergoing a safety audit from the University safety office. So I suggest this may be a good time to have your own mini audit in your work areas. How do you manage the hazards associated with your work? Take a few minutes to review your risk assessments, do they cover your activities? Are you doing new stuff, in a new place? If things do go wrong, do you have a plan to deal with it? How is safety information available to those that need it?<\/p>\n Interviews with a representative cross section of the Department will take place in late April.<\/p>\n Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n STFC is planning a series of events on Oct 31st as part of an international dark matter day. The events will target both traditional outreach audiences and government to raise the profile of dark matter research in the UK and beyond. I’m looking to organise some activities related to non-WIMP dark matter searches but I know that various members of the department are also involved with dark matter research from a variety of different perspectives. If anyone else is already planning an event for dark matter day or would be interested in being involved with one then please get in touch so that we can coordinate.<\/p>\n Ian Bailey<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n As part of the University\u2019s Community Day (http:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/events\/community-day\/<\/a>) the Space and Planetary Physics group will be running several displays and an interactive workshop.<\/p>\n
