Queen's University is hosting the 2025 Canadian Conference for Women and Gender Minorities in Physics, July 22-25. You can still submit an abstract (the deadline was tomorrow, but it has been extended). See registration link https://t.co/FCoAFnjTYO!

Dark matter is very hard to detect, so it's important to avoid false positives. With her Early Career award, Alvine Kamaha @UCLA is making a collection of signatures of non-dark matter particles. If they show up in a detector, scientists can exclude them: https://t.co/CBSj9rdgWF

Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science! Today, we celebrate the incredible women pushing the frontiers of physics! From deep underground at @SanfordLab to labs around the world, women in LZ play a vital role in the search for dark matter #WomenInScience #GirlsInSTEM

It was great giving a plenary talk at the #APS Far West meeting last weekend. I mostly enjoyed the thoughtful questions from the outstanding students who attended the conference.

It was an honor to host the second in-person meeting of the XENON/LUX-ZEPLIN/DARWIN Consortium! planing to build the next generation liquid xenon dark matter detector with many other science goals!

It was intense and rewarding to work with my #UCLA colleagues (mainly #GracielaGelmini) to put together this amazing conference. Thank you #Graciela

[Alvine Kamaha @AlvineKamaha]

Such an honor to have organized the 14th edition of the great #UCLA Dark Matter conference! 216 registeredparticipants! excellent talks from the international community (both theory and experimental)! the legacy of #DavidBCline continues!

Prof. Alvine Kamaha, faculty at @UCLA, says: "We can do all things we set our minds to do. The gender or country of nationality does not matter. What matters is the love and passion for what we do and the hard work we are willing to put in to achieve our goals." #WomenInScience

[Alvine Kamaha @AlvineKamaha]

I am ecstatic! Thanks #UCLA physics & Astronomy department for making me the inaugural Keith and Cecilia #Terasaki chair in physical sciences

And you think keeping your house clean is hard! Alvine Kamaha @UCLA - who co-led the effort to ensure the detector for the LZ dark matter experiment was free from contamination while it was being assembled - said it was like putting together 40,000 Legos. https://t.co/RCsY7zacx3
