Douglas Finkbeiner will give a special seminar for the CfA   
community on Tuesday, October 16, 2012, at 10:00, in the **Phillips**   
**Auditorium**. The title of this talk is "New Approaches to Discovering   
Dark Matter."  
  
ABSTRACT:   
  
Most of my group's work in recent years has been related to   
discovering the nature of dark matter. Some projects  
involve searches for WIMP signals from astrophysical sources or   
direct detection experiments. In other cases, we have studied the  
distribution of dust and stars in the Milky Way, both for their own   
sake, and as foregrounds for WIMP signals in microwaves and   
gamma rays. I will focus on two aspects of this research: our work   
to build a better dust map in 2-D and 3-D using Pan-STARRs and   
WISE, and our pursuit of a mysterious gamma-ray line near the   
Galactic center.
