This week on the show, SURF Executive Director Mike Headley and senior research scientist Dr. Marcus Horn take us nearly a mile underground for one of the strangest and most exciting science stories happening anywhere. We get into the LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, the mysterious single event that has dark matter researchers scratching their heads, what comes next as scientists dig into more data, and how the old Homestake Mine became America’s premier underground laboratory. Plus, Headley breaks down SURF’s massive economic footprint, its bipartisan support, and the multibillion-dollar neutrino experiment coming next. </p><p>Then Jessica Gilbertson of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network joins us for the politics. Amendment L is back, again, asking South Dakotans to raise the threshold for constitutional amendments to 60%, and opponents say voters have already made their feelings pretty clear. We also hit Medicaid expansion, Amendment I, the coming 2027 legislative fights, Taffy Howard’s ballot-guide blunder, Trump’s post-runoff Larry Rhoden endorsement, Kristi Noem firing back online, and the eternal Dakota Town Hall question: where’s the best burger in South Dakota?</p><p>@DakotaTownHall</p><p> @Jakeshoenbeck</p><p> @MurdocJ</p>","author_name":"The HomeSlice Media Group"}
