🚨 We’re heading underground for this week’s Deep Talks! Join us this Thursday, 5–7 p.m. for Live from the @BlackHillsState Underground Campus (BHUC) at SURF! 👉Learn more: https://t.co/0RhKcpadXT

The search for dark matter is a global pursuit to broaden our understanding of the universe. Explore this map to see where active and upcoming searches for dark matter are happening; you might even be surprised to find one near you! https://t.co/36l0WJJL1W #DarkMatterDay

⛑️ October 30 is National Mine Rescue Day! Today we honor the dedication of mine rescue professionals who keep underground teams safe. SURF’s legacy of mine rescue expertise dates back to the Homestake Mine, where many modern safety standards began. Thank you to all ERTs!

🚨 We’re going live from underground! Next Thursday, Deep Talks will livestream from the 4850 Level @blackhillsstate Underground Campus (BHUC)! Learn more: https://t.co/umSpPmd9e7

🌌 As the world celebrates @DarkMatterDay, we’re proud to be part of the global search for the universe’s mysteries—from the LUX-ZEPLIN @lzdarkmatter experiment to SURF’s ultrapure copper now supporting research in a lab beneath the French Alps. 🔗 https://t.co/nYMUExlIwU

The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR at SURF proved new ways to hunt ultra-rare physics events. As it wraps up, its legacy continues to shape future discoveries—thanks to the dedication of teams at SURF and collaborators worldwide! 🔗 https://t.co/0vZgP921Wm

At SURF, we advance world-class science and inspire learning across generations. @SDSMT physics major Ryan Cantz embodies that mission—earning a Conference Experience for Undergraduates Award from the @APSphysics Division of Nuclear Physics! 👏 https://t.co/exXhyNCSvl

Join us at the next Deeper Talks as Dr. Jose Alonso, first Laboratory Director at SURF, reflects on the transition from Homestake to SURF and explores the future of underground science. Join us for this hybrid talk on Wednesday at 9 a.m. by registering at https://t.co/BDBxA1R1e0

Friendly reminder for South Dakota neighbors!

#ICYMI: This excellent article from our friends at @symmetrymag explores the value @DUNEScience will bring to the global effort to study future supernova events! Read more: https://t.co/iDWCKlQg1C

Mike Headley, executive director of the South Dakota Science and Technology Authority and lab director at @SanfordLab, proves that South Dakota roots can lead to global impact. 🔬 #SDState #GreaterSDState

Throwback Thursday #TBT: A year ago we celebrated completing the first phase of expanding research space at America’s Underground Lab! Thanks to all who made it possible & continue supporting world-class science, education & jobs in the Black Hills. 👉 https://t.co/cpzlJx5p64

Want to learn more about DUNE? Join officials with @LBNFacility/@DUNEScience (LBNF/DUNE) for a project update on Tues, Sept. 23 from 6–7 p.m. at the Historic Homestake Opera House in Lead. All are welcome! 🔗 https://t.co/rXD5IiOri1

“It’s incredibly special when we get to invite creative people into the underground lab. I am thrilled that SURF will be well-represented in the global competition with these three incredible images.” — Matt Kapust, SURF multimedia design lead. (5/5) 🔗

📸Riley Singer’s “One man, Many hands” captures a person inside a drift for @DUNEScience, surrounded by pipes and cables as the space is prepared for this world-class project. (4/)

📸Josue R. Laboy’s “From Beam to Nucleus” explores the CASPAR particle accelerator at SURF, which recreates the conditions inside stars to study how the elements that make up our universe are forged. (3/)

📸Adam Tomjack’s “Ab Profundis, Scientia” shows a person shining a headlamp on the newly excavated SURF expansion drift—the first step in creating underground space for future generations of science. (2/)

Congrats to the 2025 SURF Photowalk winners! Three photographers captured stunning images of America’s Underground Lab—and their work now advances to the @particlenews Global Physics Photowalk. #PhysPics25 (1/)

✨ Deep Talks is back! Mary Bordeaux, Ed.D. (Sicangu/Oglala Lakota) shares how Lakota epistemologies, art & women’s voices shaped her doctorate & continue to guide her research & community. 📍 Sanford Lab Visitor Center | Wed, Sept 24 | 5–7 PM 👉 https://t.co/5LIOI2fWaI

At our next Deeper Talks, Dr. Kevin Rosso of @PNNLab will introduce the CUSSP Experiment, which explores how enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) could transform clean energy. Join us this Wednesday, September 10 at 9 a.m. MT by registering for free below.
