SNOLAB recently had the great opportunity to welcome some talented amateur and professional photographers into our lab space. This initiative, allowed the photographers to see our science through their lens and frame the science we do each with their unique style.

Last week while touring SNOLAB, new Ontario Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security Minister
Nolan Quinn added his signature to Cam’s logbook. Thank you to both ministers and the Province of Ontario for their commitment to SNOLAB science and SNOLAB people.
In 2022, while touring SNOLAB, then Ontario Colleges and Universities Minister Jill Dunlop was asked to sign Instrumentation Technologist Cam Beaudoin's apprenticeship logbook.

We were honoured to welcome Nolan Quinn, Minister of Colleges, Universities and Bill Rosenberg, MPP for Algoma–Manitoulin, to SNOLAB this week.
Their visit highlights the importance of continued investment in world-class research infrastructure and innovation right here in Ontario. #MadeInOntario
Professor Dan Hooper from @uwmadison.bsky.social spent the first two weeks here at SNOLAB lecturing on early universe astrophysics and cosmology to students at the SNOLAB Underground Science Institute.
Thank you Prof. Hooper! Learn more about SuSi here: www.snolab.ca/news-events/...
That is a wrap on week two of SuSi 2025! Thank you to Prof. Wouter Van De Pontseele from Colorado School of Mines for lecturing on the topic of quantum technology.
Looking forward to continuing lectures next week.
Members of the SNOLAB community had a blast at the Onaping Falls Summer Fest this past weekend! We made giant bubbles, custom buttons, and talked about SNOLAB science! Catch us next at Science North for Canada Day!

Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day. It is a day to recognize and celebrate the cultures, knowledge, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.
It’s also a day to reflect and learn about the strength and resilience of Indigenous Peoples.
Science North in Sudbury will be hosting vendors and running special programming from 10am to 4pm to celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day this Saturday, June 21st.

Curious about how underground research laboratories like SNOLAB and the Sanford Underground Research Facility are playing a role in quantum research?
Check out this great article by the Sanford Underground Research Facility - sanfordlab.org/news/future-....
We recently had the pleasure of hosting two groups of photographers, who came down to capture the science of our underground facility. This unique opportunity was part of the Global Physics Photowalk, a photography contest connecting physics labs across the globe.
