Kate Miller sits down with Arlington Public Schools' Communications Coordinator for Media Relations and Online Strategies, Frank Bellavia, to discuss her expedition to the South Pole in Episode 1 of a new podcast.
Oftentimes called “ghost particles,” neutrinos can travel through nearly everything (the sun, the earth, you!) undetected. Because they are nearly massless, gravitational fields do not affect neutrinos; Similarly, because they are chargeless, electric and magnetic fields do not con affect neutrinos. This lack of interaction is advantageous for IceCube researchers – when they detect a neutrino, it is a
Adeena Teres is further recognized with a proclamation from the Broward County Commissioner Michael Udine shown in local online publication "Coral Springs Talk".
An article in the May 2017 issue of Parklander Magazine which talks about Adeena Teres' trip to Greenland with Operation IceBridge and how she plans to use what she learns in her classroom.
In this lesson, students will be introduced to the Standard Model, learning key vocabulary such as Fermions, Hadrons, Mesons, Baryons, Quarks, Leptons, particles, and anti-particles. In particular, students will come to understand what a neutrino is and why it is such a unique particle. This understanding connects to the IceCube Neutrino Observatory’s search for neutrinos in an effort to
WPLG Local News covers teacher Adeena Teres who received a Proclamation for participating in Operation IceBridge. The proclamation was given at her school in front of one of her classes by Commissioner Michael Udine and June 2, 2017 was designated "Adeena Teres Day".
Kate Miller and Katey Shirey spoke about life in Antarctic and the science of IceCube to two groups of ~30 elementary-aged kids at the National Science Foundation's Take-Your-Daughter-or-Son-to-Work Day.
Kate Miller teamed up with the Friends of the Arlington Planetarium for a Sunday presentation about her Antarctic expedition. After the 30-minute, full-dome showing of "Chasing the Ghost Particle," Kate presented about life in Antarctica and the IceCube Project. Near 50 people attended.
Kate attended the IceCube Collaboration Meeting (Spring 2017) in Madison, WI. Here, she got a better feel for how the IceCube collaboration is organized and how science is done within the collaboration. Kate presented a short powerpoint presentation during Friday's poster session. These slides were also included in the Education and Outreach presentation given by Dr. Madsen Saturday morning. The
