We recently said goodbye to our HS&E Manager Tony... 💔 But he wasn't gone long - he came back for a few days to train our new HS&E Manager, Kevin Tony then worked his final underground shift on Wednesday - resulting in a proper mine sign-off and this week's #PhotoOfTheWeek 📸 pic.x.com/lcbco48kzs

Our underground #science lab contains many unique sights – things you wouldn’t normally see in your day-to-day routine... Take a look at some of these close-ups. Can you figure out what you’re looking at? 🤔👀 #STEM #Research #Physics pic.x.com/s0wvac0tka

"It kind of looks like a chocolate in a wrapper!" 🍬😋 Exciting times in our lab as we recently installed two new #Germanium detectors in our underground screening facility, BUGS! But like all our other detectors, these two need names... Any suggestions? 🤔💬 pic.x.com/dxm3syiojh

We had the pleasure of hosting BBC The Sky at Night earlier this week, marking our lab's second appearance on #TheSkyAtNight! 🌙⭐ It's been 20 years since the show last came to Boulby Lab - and suffice to say, a lot has changed! #Astronomy #SpaceExploration #Science pic.x.com/efmbehyzcy

Sharing the incredible science that we host is one of our core missions, and so far in 2024 we have engaged with over 5,000 people! 🌎📣 The latter half of the year will be no different - we're going to be at #HarwellOpenWeek at the end of June... Come say hi! ☺️ Science and Technology Facilities Council

We had a great time at #EMF festival this weekend, delivering a virtual tour of our lab and answering questions about our deep underground #science programme... We hope everyone that watched learnt something new about what we do, and we hope to be back next time! 😊🤖 #EMFcamp

We had a great time hosting 8 STEM-curious scholars from SanfordLab this week! 🧪🧬 2024's Davis-Bahcall Scholars visited us 1.1km underground on their tour of the world's great science hubs... We hope everyone had a great time and now know a little more than when they arrived pic.x.com/06nwwfoalv

This #ThrowbackThursday we recount last month when we opened our doors to schools. As part of Harwell Open Week, we held outreach events for students. Alongside other UK Research and Innovation research, students gained insight as to dark matter with our Boulby Underground Laboratory display.

Happy #YorkshireDay! 🎉 Our lab is situated on the stunning North #Yorkshire coastline, right on the edge of the North York Moors – and it’s safe to say there’s no place we’d rather be! We’re very lucky to be in (or, under) such a beautiful part of the UK 😊 #NorthEast #UK

UK researchers also co-led LZ's excellent radio-screening campaign, much of which happened at Boulby Underground Laboratory! Science and Technology Facilities Council STFC Particle Physics Selecting the most✨clean and radiopure✨material is essential in a rare event search to keep backgrounds as low as possible!

Managed to get 0.038% closer to the core-mantle boundary today - going 1100 m underground. What an experience! Fascinating environment and amazing facilities - many thanks Boulby Underground Laboratory for facilitating and hosting!
