Dan Hooper so glad you are back!

JUNO, the world’s largest liquid scintillator neutrino detector has started to take data. 20000 tons, 43000 photo multipliers, 700m underground The chinese experiment aims to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and measure neutrino mixing angles at sub-% level

What scientists say / How it's covered

Sabine Hossenfelder I guess I should tag Dan Hooper. Would love to discuss this episode with him.

Dan Hooper (Dan Hooper) of Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center at UWResearch and Shalma Wegsman (Shalma Wegsman) co-hosts the amazing 'Why This Universe?' podcast on Science, Enjoy! Fermilab IceCube Neutrino Observatory U.S. National Science Foundation whythisuniverse.buzzsprout.com/1162613

It's #DarkMatterDay! Thank you Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center Director Dan Hooper for explaining dark matter and how we try to unlock its mysteries! 📸 NASA/IceCube/CERN/Euclid Consortium/SLAC National Accelerator Lab/American Museum of Natural History/Sanford Research Facility

Our new book is out today!

The first wave of IceCubers has arrived at the South Pole aboard a Lockheed C-130 Hercules or "Herc" as they call it. As more IceCubers arrive at the Pole, we'll start sharing progress on the IceCube Upgrade! ❄️✨ 📸: Vedant Basu

Effective field theories don’t imply that there is no fundamental physics, but that any (local, unitary, causal) fundamental theory looks like an effective field theory at low energies (compared to the fundamental scale) You can climb a ladder rung by rung, doesn’t mean it never

We’re only having the same non-conversations because when I challenge a statement your focus shifts to motives and insults rather than physics Last week you said physicists that work on reconciling quantum mechanics and gravity are infected by a virus. Now you say physicists

Upgrade Update #2 The crew spent a lot of time shoveling to get most of the buildings in the drill camp out. While the crew continues preparations, the South Pole Overland Traverse is making good progress. Read more ➡️ icecube.wisc.edu/news/icecube-g… 📸 Emmett Krupczak, IceCube/NSF

Stephen J. Hawking, the renowned astrophysicist regarded as Albert Einstein's intellectual successor, conceded defeat this week in a wager he made six years ago with two professors at the California Institute of Technology. Hawking incorrectly bet against the existence of naked

For the record, I had nothing to do with Sabine Hossenfelder losing her academic affiliation.

🎥 Here is a 2.5-hour timelapse of the crew moving a tower and tower operation site building (red) into position above the planned 1st hole for the IceCube Upgrade. It took 2 operators and 3 machines to move the buildings. . 🎥 Jennifer Wang and Vedant Basu, IceCube/NSF

📍This past week at the Pole has been nothing short of action-packed; the changing of the (IceCube winterover) guard, Upgrade activities at full steam ahead, and lots of arriving cargo! Read more about week 45 ➡️icecube.wisc.edu/news/life-at-t… 📸:Alicia Fattorini, IceCube/NSF

📆 Join us on Dec 3 @ 7:00 PM CST for an out-of-this-world Badgers On Tap event where WIPAC Director Dan Hooper and UW-Madison Physics PhD student Abby Bishop will share all about the cosmos! 🌌 Enjoy fun drinks, trivia, bingo, and prizes at RigbyPub&Grill! 🍻🏆

RIP Bill Bardeen, superb theorist and exemplary colleague.

Congrats to IceCube PI Francis Halzen, recipient of the 2026 American Physical Society Medal for Exceptional Achievement in Research! 🏅 His leadership of IceCube and its discoveries have made significant contributions to the field of neutrino astrophysics. aps.org/apsnews/2025/1….

A great and well deserved honor goes to Francis Halzen today! Congratulations! aps.org/apsnews/2025/1…
