Only one more sleep until Dark Matter Day! Here's a throwback to when MOTHERBOARD visited SNOLAB to learn a little bit more about how we're searching for #DarkMatter and a little bit more about our science program!

Today is the last day to participate! If you have a physics degree and are working in Canada or are working towards a physics degree at a Canadian institution, this survey is for you. For the first time, demographic information about the Canadian physics community is being collected by the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAPhys).

Congratulations to Dr. Eric Vázquez Jáuregui on being awarded the Marcos Moshinksy Fellowship in physics! Read the full story here: https://www.snolab.ca//2020-11-13-former-snolab-research-s

Are you a #BlackInPhysics student or researcher studying or working in Canada? This event may be for you! Join CAPhys with Dr. Nadia Octave (CISSS de Chaudière-Appalaches) and Dr. Martin Williams (University of Guelph) for a networking event about #Physics careers in Canada. Register below:

3 days until Dark Matter Day! "Thousands of scientists are waiting for the bump in the night that would reveal the identity of dark matter. Nature is hiding in the shadows: roughly 85 per cent of the matter in the universe is dark matter, and we know almost nothing about it." - Director of Research, Jeter Hall on the mystery that is #DarkMatter. https://www.sudbury.com//dark-matter-day-in-search-of-the-

Keep an eye out for the red planet this evening! Mars and Earth will be at the closest point to one another within their orbits during Mars' opposition, the time when Mars is on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun. Mars, bright and orange in the sky, will cross the night sky from east to west, just after sunset. https://www.almanac.com//mars-opposition-2020-closest-and-
