In The Media
From Mashable, July 12, 2018: Josh Frieman is mentioned in this article on the IceCube experiment, which caught sight of a neutrino sent into space by a black hole, known as a blazar, marking the first detection of its kind in history.
From WDCB's First Light, July 8, 2018: In this 20-minute audio story, WDCB interviews Fermilab user and University of Chicago scientist David Schmitz about the search for a fourth neutrino.
From Sanford Underground Research Facility's Deep Thoughts, July 17, 2018: Nearly 1,500 people attended activities at Sanford Lab's free science festival in Lead, South Dakota, breaking the single-day record.
From APS News, July 2018: Scientists are looking down a number of avenues for dark matter. Fermilab's Daniel Bowring and Dan Hooper discuss the search, and members of SuperCDMS, ADMX and other collaborations are on the hunt.
From Scientific American, July 5, 2018: This editorial weighs in on the latest result from the MiniBooNE experiment. The author says that, while winning experiments may soon give us clarity, at this time there is no resolution to the sterile neutrino question.
Inside the international hunt for the ghost particle
