Last week, Luiz de Viveiros and Carmen Carmona organized an outreach activity celebrating the “International Dark Matter Day”. Together with postdocs and students from the Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos (IGC), they hosted an information booth in the physics department lobby. It included a live virtual tour of the LZ dark matter experiment 1 mile underground, led by a former Penn State grad student Gavin Cox, now a staff scientist at the Sanford Lab in South Dakota (you can see him in the monitor in the photo below!). The event was a success, with many students stopping by to ask about dark matter, particle physics, and cosmology! Thanks everyone who participated for your support!
