Description
There is overwhelming evidence that there is dark matter in the Universe. However, its particle identity remains a mystery. In this talk, I will present new and exciting proposals for the nature of this particle and explain their impact on astrophysics, cosmology, and particle-physics. I will discuss various ways to test these proposals and, hopefully, discover the nature of dark matter.
