[Hps] FW: Dark Matter Day is coming October 31 - Invitation to your collaboration to participate!

Mon Aug 28 16:10:21 EDT 2017

Dear HPS,

Please read the invitation below to each of us in HPS to participate in the upcoming Dark Matter Day, October 31, 2017.
Looks like there are lots of ways to help. Not a bad idea to promote public awareness of our scientific mission.

John

Dear colleague,

I’m reaching out to you as the co-chair of the Interactions Collaboration of science communicators to let you and your collaboration members know about Dark Matter Day (www.darkmatterday.com <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.darkmatterday.com&d=DwIGaQ&c=lz9TcOasaINaaC3U7FbMev2lsutwpI4--09aP8Lu18s&r=hGEVsUzUB5ml8iDt6EuOdg&m=ACJFaBB3OncTMxwqwucwuLhRXMDOwGHXczm0oHPjcSU&s=qXDHGg8QREisTbrS5qrldyxfa4CZrXRSH6GRUCu6ShQ&e= > ), a global event to be celebrated in September and October 2017, culminating with the formally recognized day on October 31, 2017.

Communicators from particle physics laboratories around the world <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.interactions.org&d=DwIGaQ&c=lz9TcOasaINaaC3U7FbMev2lsutwpI4--09aP8Lu18s&r=hGEVsUzUB5ml8iDt6EuOdg&m=ACJFaBB3OncTMxwqwucwuLhRXMDOwGHXczm0oHPjcSU&s=Xb-V0tASrraRdmnYYzVBWYMgaXjjFjC7k2yUK9yT_iU&e= >  conceived of Dark Matter Day to spread the word about why the worldwide scientific community is hunting for dark matter, the various ways we are looking for it, and what we hope to learn about it. 

We’re hoping you can help us spread the word across your scientific collaboration to see if any members would like to participate (and/or plan!) Dark Matter Day-themed speaking engagements, classroom presentations, tours of experimental sites, and social media activities during the months of September and October.

Here are some ways you can help:

·      Let your collaboration members know about Dark Matter Day. Send an email to collaboration members and ask them if they’d like to serve as a speaker or volunteer at a local Dark Matter Day event, or if they simply want to attend an event in their area.

·      Volunteer at a Dark Matter Day event: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__goo.gl_forms_DvHLLYdBKUNfAguY2&d=DwIGaQ&c=lz9TcOasaINaaC3U7FbMev2lsutwpI4--09aP8Lu18s&r=hGEVsUzUB5ml8iDt6EuOdg&m=ACJFaBB3OncTMxwqwucwuLhRXMDOwGHXczm0oHPjcSU&s=luwIiFxCEXMnjKAfz5A8zUZPeEIZnq8josGW5JkyG04&e=  <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__goo.gl_forms_DvHLLYdBKUNfAguY2&d=DwIGaQ&c=lz9TcOasaINaaC3U7FbMev2lsutwpI4--09aP8Lu18s&r=hGEVsUzUB5ml8iDt6EuOdg&m=ACJFaBB3OncTMxwqwucwuLhRXMDOwGHXczm0oHPjcSU&s=luwIiFxCEXMnjKAfz5A8zUZPeEIZnq8josGW5JkyG04&e= > .
