📚 Lecture: "The DUNE Experiment: Neutrinos & the Origin of Matter"

🎤 Speaker: Joseph Howlett

Join us for an enlightening evening with Joseph Howlett as he takes us deep into the heart of the DUNE experiment, a groundbreaking scientific initiative taking place in an abandoned gold mine beneath the Black Hills. With an investment of $5 billion, physicists are building a vast underground network designed to answer one of humanity's most profound questions: How did we get here?

In this captivating lecture, Howlett will explore the significance of neutrinos, the tiny and elusive particles at the center of this monumental project. He will share insights into the challenges and potential breakthroughs of the largest underground science project in U.S. history, which aims to uncover the origins of all matter in the universe and restore America’s leadership in particle physics.

Joseph Howlett is a staff reporter at Scientific American, with contributions to The New York Times, the BBC, and the San Francisco Chronicle, among others. Prior to his journalism career, he spent a decade as a particle physicist at Columbia and Stanford Universities, studying some of the universe’s biggest mysteries.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to learn about one of the most exciting frontiers in science today!
