Description

UPDATE: Dark Matter Day is now sold out, but worry not! We have another fantastic event lined up for November 15th featuring Dr. Ken Clark, one of our dark matter researchers! IGnite: Inspiring Generations through Research promises to be a highly engaging experience for everyone with a special focus on getting young people interested in science and research.

Many of the scientists showing demos for Dark Matter Day will be at IGnite with those demos and will be available to meet and ask questions to. Please check out the event and register as soon as possible, as our events do fill up quickly!

We will also be live streaming the Dark Matter Day event on the McDonald Institute facebook page, so be sure to tune in, comment and share the live stream!

Register for the event now to ensure your place!
