On Wednesday, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took to Facebook Live from a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota, future home of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
As of the date of this post, more than 2 million people have viewed Zuckerberg’s Facebook Live video, which discusses DUNE, neutrinos and the search for dark matter. Fermilab even gets a shout-out about 4 minutes in (3:55).
Watch Zuckerberg’s video for a glimpse of the DUNE host facility and to learn a little more about our research partners at Sanford Lab.
