Calendars

I collate events that concern physics and the climate crisis into three public Google calendars. The first is a "making physics more sustainable" calendar. This aims to share events that discuss how we can make the field of physics more sustainable. The second is a "physics helping the climate crisis" calendar. This aims to share events that discuss how physics can help improve the sustainability of the world. Finally, the third calendar is simply a calendar of environmental 'holidays'. If you have or know of events that could be added, please do share them.

A map of large particle accelerator facilities

I've slowly been collating a map of particle accelerator facilities worldwide. It's a work in progess and I'm happy to receive suggestions for additions/subtractions.
