On September 15, 2021, at 7 pm, there will be a special edition of Wednesday Nite @ The Lab, the weekly science outreach series hosted by the University of Wisconsin–Madison. This Wednesday’s program features scientists from the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center (WIPAC), a UW–Madison research center, who will give a presentation titled “IceCube Turns Ten: Past, Present and Future for the World’s Biggest and Strangest Observatory.”
