Do WIMPs Rule? The LUX & LZ Experiments and the Search for Cosmic Dark MatterDark Matter remains a profound mystery at the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. One of the leading candidates, the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle, or WIMP, may be detectable using terrestrial particle detectors. Recent technological advances are enabling very rapid increases in sensitivity in the search for these particles. ...

Climate and Mechanisms of Soil Carbon Stabilization: Findings from Senior Thesis ResearchA change in carbon residence times in soil has huge potential to alter global carbon cycling and atmospheric composition. Therefore, an understanding of how mechanisms of carbon stabilization respond to ecosystem changes is essential for accurately modeling global climate change. Soils as whole ecosystems and specific soil biotic conditions are ...

Encoding of movements by Purkinje cells of the cerebellumExecution of accurate eye movements depends critically on the cerebellum, as evidenced by the deficits observed in patients and lesion studies. These observations have suggested that Purkinje cells (P-cells) predict the state of the eye (e.g. its position or velocity) during a saccade. Yet, this encoding has remained a long-standing ...
