While the exact nature of this energy remains a total mystery, new astronomical instruments are shedding light on dark energy like never before. Join us at this month's KPL astronomy talk, when Dr. Enrique Paillas will speak about the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), and what its newest results tell us about the dark Universe.</p> Tags: WCA-KPL Astronomy Talk series Wed, May 29 2024, 7 - 8pm Sarah Fullerton https://uwaterloo.ca/science/events/wca-kpl-public-talk-unveiling-nature-dark-energy-desi https://uwaterloo.ca/science/events/reunion-2024 <img loading="lazy" src="/science/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/uploads/images/fp2797-reunion-socials-1080x1080px10.jpg?itok=wH8Xtl-R" width="100" height="100" alt="vintage photo of two male students in a lab with 2024 reunion banner" typeof="Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> <p><time datetime="2024-05-31" class="datetime">Fri, May 31</time> - <time datetime="2024-06-01" class="datetime">Sat, Jun 1 2024, All day</time> </p> <p>Science alumni and friends are welcomed back to campus May 31-June 1, 2024 for a variety of events happening around UW campus</p> Fri, May 31 - Sat, Jun 1 2024, All day Sharon McFarlane https://uwaterloo.ca/science/events/reunion-2024 https://uwaterloo.ca/science/events/winnipeg-alumni-reception <img loading="lazy" src="/science/sites/default/files/styles/thumbnail/public/uploads/images/winnipeg-cropped.jpg?itok=FcVTyakJ" width="100" height="47" alt="skyline of winnipeg" typeof="Image" class="image-style-thumbnail" /> <p><time datetime="2024-06-03T19:30:00-04:00" class="datetime">Mon, Jun 3 2024, 6:30</time> - <time datetime="2024-06-03T21:30:00-04:00" class="datetime">8:30pm</time> (7:30 - 9:30pm)</p> <p>An alumni cocktail event in Winnipeg featuring Dean Chris Houser and Chair of the Department of Chemistry, John Corrigan</p> Mon, Jun 3 2024, 6:30 - 8:30pm (7:30 - 9:30pm) Sharon McFarlane https://uwaterloo.ca/science/events/winnipeg-alumni-reception
