 umn.edu/ftpi/DSU.\n \nSpecific topics for the 2025 edition will include:\
 n- BSM models of dark matter (DM)- Axions and ultralight DM- DM formation-
  Astrophysical signatures of DM- New DM detection techniques\n- New ideas 
 and observations on dark energy\n- Dark energy (DE) and dark matter from s
 tring theory- Neutrino cosmology and its interplay with DM and DE- Gravita
