I went a mile underground inside an abandoned gold mine ...for science!I was in Lead, South Dakota (next to Deadwood) to keynote their big public event called Neutrino Day where families come in from the surrounding areas to geek out about particle physics, which is so cool.I always adore a chance to geek out about neutrinos and subatomic particle collisions, but I was especially excited to get a chance to go one mile underground and see all the cool science taking place. The Sanford Lab is host to a particle accelerator, extremophile research, dark matter experiments and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). Check out what it was like!
Excited to announce I have a new show on Tested!
Premiering today for the first time - I'm hosting a new show with Tested called Offworld! Tested is Mythbusters' Adam Savage's YouTube channel that has over 3 million subscribers. Offworld will be about all things outer space + pop culture. Check out the first episode featuring astronomer Dr. Jill Tarter and Norm Chan as we geek out about the movie Contact:
Welcome to Offworld, a new show we're making that explores the fun places where space and pop culture intersect! In each episode, we'll examine a science fiction story and discuss how it holds up under some scientific scrutiny.
I'm also still continuing to grow my own YouTube channel where I make short and sweet space-tastic videos, so be sure to subscribe there, too!
