February 3, 2026 -Closing in on Sub-GeV Dark Matter
Closing in on Sub-GeV Dark Matter
Speakers: Rebecca Leane (SLAC and KIPAC) Sub-GeV dark matter is a well-motivated possibility. However, its feeble interactions make it hard to detect, often falling below experimental thresholds, requiring new detection ideas. In this talk I will describe two complementary, data-driven strategies to close in on light dark matter. First, I will show how large neutrino ... Read more

February 5, 2026 -Rethinking Math Readiness for First-Year Physics and Engineering
Rethinking Math Readiness for First-Year Physics and Engineering
Speakers: Joel Walker (Sam Houston State University) I’ll be describing an intervention targeting math readiness for incoming physics and pre-engineering students, which has been co-developed with faculty colleague James Dent at Sam Houston State. Our “Physics Bootcamp” course teaches the mathematical methods required for first-year physics and engineering, from the perspective favored by physicists. Motivated ... Read more
