This series curated by UW-Madison associate professor Daniel Grabois mixes classical music and science concepts into presentations showing interrelations one might not expect. This edition's theme is "From Minuscule to Massive: The Universe According to IceCube," looking at the research taking place at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica. Along with music by Grabois' Meridian Arts Ensemble, the program includes speakers Benjamin Eberhardt and Kathrin Mallot (IceCube), Rasha Abbasi (Loyola University), and Paolo Desiati and Delia Tosi (Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center).

press release: From Minuscule to Massive: The Universe According to IceCube

What's it like spending the winter in Antarctica (hint: cold)? How can we understand all that ice? Why do we study the universe from such a remote place, and what do we learn about things both big and small? How does music express the universe? Find out in the first (virtual) SoundWaves event of the 2020-21 year, focusing on the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a research space in Antarctica.

Featuring: Benjamin Eberhardt and Kathrin Mallot (IceCube Collaboration), Delia Tosi (WIPAC), Rasha Abbasi (Loyola University Chicago), Paolo Desiati (WIPAC) and Daniel Grabois (Music, SoundWaves curator).
