There may still be some last-minute tickets for Monday’s talk about CERN’s god-damn particle accelerator, and Friday’s gathering to celebrate poetry and landscape. Plus, a reminder that the December/New Year bulletin will be published on December 1st — don’t forget to send me details now of December and New Year events.

The ‘big bang machine‘
Check out the possibility of last-minute tickets for Monday night’s talk about CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - the particle accelerator that was all the news a couple of months ago, and where physicists hope to discover evidence for the Higgs boson, aka the ‘god(damn) particle’, so-called because it is so elusive. CERN’s new director, Prof Rolf Heuer, will be doing the honours on Monday, November 24 at the RDS. Organised by the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies (DIAS).
Poetry and landscape: likewise, we hear there may be some late tickets available for what promises to be a lovely event joining the spoken word and striking landscapes and marking International Year of Planet Earth, with seven Belfast-based poets, among them Michael Longley. Dublin, November 28, 5.30 for 6 pm. Free, booking essential. (gsni@detini.gov.uk)
