This check is to ensure that all doors on escape routes will  allow evacuation in the event that the fire alarm is activated. In most cases  the alarm will be silenced during the inspection, but a short sounding of the  alarm ( less than 10 seconds) may occur. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The build-up of the Milky Way&#8217;s stellar halo<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p> MS Teams event<br \/>\nMonday 18 October 2021<br \/>\n3:00pm to 4:00pm<\/p>\n<p>Astrophysics webinar  <\/p>\n<p>Speaker: Dr. Azadeh Fattahi, Durham University<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/physics\/about-us\/events\/astrophysics-webinar-2021-10-18-15-00\">https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/physics\/about-us\/events\/astrophysics-webinar-2021-10-18-15-00<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Izzy Garland<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u201cEquipartition and Entanglement\u201d.
