A big congratulations to Professor Francis Halzen on being elected to the National Academy of Sciences National Academy of Sciences! 🎉

📍Last week at the Pole was jam-packed. With it getting darker at the Pole, our winterovers were treated to the first large aurora of the season.

🔔📜 IceCube paper published in Nature Physics!

We tested for neutrino decoherence as a result of small fluctuations in spacetime caused by quantum gravity. We set the world's strongest constraints on neutrino-quantum gravity interactions.

Another successful collaboration meeting in the books! 🎉 🥂

A huge thank you to our host institution, Universität Münster, and to everyone who attended our spring collaboration meeting to discuss science and exchange ideas.

See you all in Madison, Wisconsin for the fall meeting!

📍Our winterovers were kept busy last week, with a couple of trips out to the IceCube Lab (ICL) for some detector maintenance and troubleshooting.
