One of the long standing recommendations from past safety audits was the production of a chemical inventory for the Department. Thanks to efforts by Dr Zhuang & Rupert Prudom we now have an online system for Supervisors to log the chemicals they have in their labs. It is on the Physics SharePoint site<\/a> Departmental safety section. There are some FAQ\u2019s which hopefully will answer any queries.<\/p>\n Please can all supervisors who have chemicals within their labs log them on this inventory. We would like this to be completed by the end of November. If you do have any questions please get in touch.<\/p>\n Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Housekeeping in labs is important and something that we find on our safety tours that can always be improved. In this vein, have a thought about what is stored at height in your work area. Do you need to keep it? If it\u2019s heavy can be stored lower down? How do you access it when required? If you need some guidance please get in touch.<\/p>\n Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s that time again to read, mark, learn & inwardly digest the latest edition of the Dept. safety handbook. As always, it\u2019s full of useful links and guidance to keep us all safe. Once read please confirm you have read and understood the contents by either signing the cover sheet and putting it in Grainne Wilkinson\u2019s pigeon hole or by sending an electronic signed version to her. If you spot any typos or errors please let me know (and claim your prize!).<\/p>\n Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Registration at:\u00a0https:\/\/www.eventbrite.co.uk\/e\/inclusion-in-physics-2021-kick-off-meeting-tickets-191588124237<\/a><\/p>\n The event is open to all the Lancaster University Physics Community: undergrads, postgrads, researchers and staff.<\/p>\n Elisabetta Boella<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wednesday 3rd November 2 \u2013 2.50 p.m. Want to find out more about the wellbeing support available at Lancaster? <\/strong> Who is the session for?<\/strong> Jonathan Gratus \/ Lesley English<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thursday 4th November 10am \u2013 2 pm Want to find out more about the support and advice available at Lancaster?<\/strong> Who is the event\u00a0for?<\/strong> Thank-you so much.

The interactive\u00a0session will focus on communication skills for outreach, engagement and public speaking.\u00a0The session will be facilitated by Andrew Jenkins, who\u2019s a public engagement professional and a Lancaster Physics graduate (many of you know him!).<\/p>\n Thanks to those who have already signed up for this session. If you\u2019d like to come along, you\u2019d be most welcome. Please feel free to sign up using this link<\/a>. Tea and coffee will be provided (and possibly a free lunch!).<\/p>\n If you\u2019d like to get involved in our outreach activities, then feel free to get in touch with the Physics Department’s outreach coordinator, Andy Blake (a.blake@lancaster.ac.uk<\/a>). We run a range of events and activities for schools, community groups and the public throughout the year. Whether it be Physics masterclasses, small-group mentoring, planetarium shows or science fairs, we engage with all audiences and age groups and we have something for everyone.<\/p>\n Andy Blake<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are forming a Physics Sustainability Group, a diverse team of academics, researchers, non-academic staff and postgraduate students.\u00a0 If you are interested in working together to enhance the environmental sustainability of the department and its community of staff, students and partners, please join us by contacting Laura Kormos at l.kormos@lancaster.ac.uk<\/a>.\u00a0 This is not meant to be an onerous task and even small amounts of commitment will be highly valued.\u00a0 It is very important that the voice of Physics is heard in the broader discussions.<\/p>\n This group will develop ideas that, once approved by the members of the Department, will feed into the FST Sustainability Advisory Committee (SustAC), which liaises with departments and the University to develop and support procedures, changes and ideas that will help the University to meet its climate-emergency targets:<\/p>\nA tidy lab is a safe lab<\/strong><\/h2>\n
