🔔New IceCube results to be published in @ScienceMag tomorrow!
For the first time, IceCube found evidence of high-energy neutrino emission from NGC 1068, an active galaxy in the constellation Cetus and one of the most familiar and well-studied galaxies. #IceCubeNGC1068
We're excited to share that Dr. Jodi Cooley has been selected to serve as the next Executive Director of SNOLAB.

... and a shout out to dual Engineering and Physics Major, and SPS chapter president, Abigail Hays. She presented her research in engineering on fins and turbulence in water.
Scenes from the graduate research poster event during Research and Innovation Week @SMU. Congrats to PhD candidate Santosh Parajuli for winning top honors in Physics.
So proud of @SuperCDMS undergraduate researcher Faith Fang who won First Place in the SMU Research and Innovation Week Undergraduate Poster session. As a reward, she will be presenting her poster again today during the graduate poster session. Stop by if you have time!
Celebrate Women's History Month by learning about some of the notable leaders and scholars @SMU, including our own @profcooley! You will find their profiles in the Sunday, March 27 edition of @dallasnews.
It is Research and Innovation week at SMU! Here, undergraduate researcher Faith Fang discusses her work in assessing radon contamination of polycarbonate, a common material associated with dark matter experiments.
