Live from the Sanford Underground Research Facility

On today's show...

We get a 4,850-feet-underground view of the science happening at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Mike Headley, the facility's laboratory director, kicks off our live broadcast from SURF.

Researchers Linda Di Felice and Ellie Bishop bring us a dark matter 101 lesson. We learn how dark matter could be detected for the first time in South Dakota through the LZ detector.

SURF's artist in residence says he's in a "sponge phase." Marty Two Bulls, Jr. discusses where art and science intersect.

It's hard to convey how huge the caverns are for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, but Josh Willhite paints us that picture. He's the project manager for the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility run by Fermilab.

We meet two educators who create experiments for kids using things that would have been thrown away. Take a step into their Little Shop of Physics.

Plus, we get an itinerary for Saturday's Neutrino Day at SURF.
