National Absinthe Day celebrates absinthe — the anise, fennel, and wormwood spirit banned in France in 1915 as a public health menace and rehabilitated in the U.S. after the 2007 lifting of its 95-year ban. Dissociative Identity Disorder Awareness Day raises awareness for DID — the psychiatric condition formerly known as Multiple Personality Disorder, characterized by two or more distinct personality states and associated with severe early trauma. International Open Data Day celebrates the principle that public sector data should be freely available for anyone to use, reuse, and redistribute. British Science Week shifts to the second week of March in 2027, the annual UK science education and public engagement campaign launched in 1994 to inspire young people in STEM.
