Dear colleague,
In view of a recent breakthrough in multimessenger astrophysics, led by
the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, the American
National Science Foundation (NSF) will organize a press conference at
its headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, on thursday july 12th 2018
at 11:00h a.m. EDT (17:00h Brussels time).
