Called the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), physicists from Iowa and around the world have teamed up to detect neutrinos, elusive particles that may explain what makes up the universe and all that’s in it, including us.
Dorit Kliemann researches the remarkable social brain
Wednesday, September 30, 2026
A slight change in facial expression, a minimal shift in someone’s tone of voice, or a subtle movement can offer clues about what another person is feeling or thinking, and what they might do next. For many people, interpreting those signals happens almost automatically. Dorit Kliemann, assistant professor in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, wants to understand how the brain makes that possible.
