📚 Lecture: “Dark Matter: The Unsolvable Mystery”
👨‍🏫 Speaker: Particle Physicist, Dr. Joseph Howlett

Join us for a fascinating lecture with Joseph Howlett, a particle physicist turned science journalist, as he shares his firsthand experiences in the quest to unlock the secrets of dark matter. Five years ago, Joseph was deep underground in a cavern beneath the Gran Sasso mountain in Italy, part of a team assembling the largest dark matter detector in the world.

While the goal was to discover the mysterious substance that constitutes 85% of the universe, Joseph candidly reveals that many in the scientific community understood the challenges to success. In this captivating talk, he will explore why such monumental scientific endeavors often reach dead ends and how this reality invites us to redefine our understanding of science itself.

With a decade of research experience at Columbia and Stanford, Joseph is now a writer for Quanta Magazine, contributing to conversations about groundbreaking developments in physics and mathematics.

Don’t miss this opportunity to rethink the nature of science and discovery with the insightful Joseph Howlett.
