It\u2019s that time of year when we need to gather the records for the declarations under the Chemical Weapons Act to comply with the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).

The CWC schedules are on the Departmental safety SharePoint site.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think we have anything in schedule 1 but please let me know as soon as possible if we do!<\/p>\n
Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We will be having a Christmas lunch on Wednesday 22nd December at 1300hrs at Greaves Park.<\/p>\n The only way to secure your place is by paying for your lunch in advance when you can give me your menu choices. Please book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment as the venue has an estimated number of people which can only be increased subject to other bookings that they receive in the meantime.<\/p>\n To minimise contact please come and see me alone and with the right money. The prices are two courses for \u00a320.99 or three for \u00a322.99 but if it is easier for you I don\u2019t mind keeping an extra penny as commission \ud83d\ude03. I am usually in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.<\/p>\n As usual we\u2019ll have mince pies and drinks in the atrium at 1100.<\/p>\n Grainne Wilkinson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n An External Caterers Policy is in place and has been approved by the university until 31st July 2022. Pls find details below.<\/p>\n The University has taken the decision to restrict the use of catering on campus to only booked and delivered via University Hospitality. Whilst the majority of catering on campus is already undertaken by the Hospitality team, they will be very happy to discuss a range of options and personalisation to enable dietary, cultural, and budgetary needs are met.<\/p>\n The procurement team are working with the Internal Catering team on this and will not authorise payments for any external use without the approval of the Hospitality Department.<\/p>\n Grainne Wilkinson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n MS Teams event Astrophysics webinar<\/p>\n Speaker: Lucy Strang, University of Melbourne<\/p>\n Michael Thompson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n FAR – Cavendish Colloquium Book Launch – ‘Introduction to Cosmic Inflation and Dark Energy’ by Dr. Konstantinos Dimopoulos, Reader in Physics.<\/p>\n Speaker: Dr. Konstantinos Dimopoulos<\/p>\n Konstantinos Dimopoulos<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n PHS – Physics C036 Condensed Matter seminar<\/p>\n Speaker: Thomas McGrath (University of Lancaster)<\/p>\n Michael Thompson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are delighted to announce the start of a new programme of workshops aimed at skills development for Computationally Intensive research, courtesy of our new N8CIR Research Software Engineer Robin Long. \u00a0All the workshops are designed to help researchers (PhD students and staff) with skills, they need for using and developing software as part of their research.<\/p>\n This terms schedule (starting in week 6) is<\/p>\n Week 8: Version Control with Git<\/strong> Week 9:\u00a0\u00a0Plotting in Python part 2<\/strong> Week 10: Git 2: Sharing your development with others using Github<\/strong> Have you ever been confused about how to start a Pull Request or how to fork a repository and merge your changes back.

Manus Hayne \/ Robin Long<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 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 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.Christmas Lunch for Physics staff and PG Students<\/strong><\/h2>\n
