22 TEMPLE WINTER 2018 23 BRINGING DARK MATTER TO LIGHT

he most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is comprehensible.” Those are some of Albert Einstein’s most celebrated words. “T The phrase is also a statement Professor of Physics Jeff Martoff chose to have wallpapered onto the glass wall adjacent to his office door in the Science Education and Research Center (SERC) on Main Campus. Einstein’s quote doesn’t stand alone—it’s paired with a mural of a galaxy that features the scien- tist’s head, in case there’s any question about whom to credit for the sentiment. It’s not a surprise that physicists like Martoff are drawn to Einstein’s remarks. They have studied and analyzed our world and universe for more than 100 years. They understand how almost everything works, from atoms to the solar system, in great mathematical detail. But there’s something brewing in the cosmos that could irk physicists. Enter: the incomprehensible. Dark matter—it’s the perplexing mass that is believed to comprise two-thirds of the universe. And it’s what Martoff is working to bring to light with the support of a prestigious $1.2 million grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation.

Jonathan Coleman Jr. was 14 when he met his first love. It started on a playground, the way young love might. But it wasn’t with a kid his age. He fell in love with heroin. As Coleman tells it, he grew curious about the strange, euphoric–haze–inducing drug his friends used and decided to try it. He was hooked instantly. “It was like someone took a hot blanket and wrapped me up in it, and [I was] off to the races for a few years,” Coleman recalls. Little did he know, that first love would follow him through much of his life. It would rob him of his marriage, steal his stability and sanity for years, snatch his hard-earned living, and pursue him with dogged determination for decades. Although Coleman held jobs and provided for his family throughout his battle, some- times even finding long stretches of sobriety, heroin always seemed to find a way to call him back to that dark place where the next fix was what mattered most. That was until about two years ago, when Coleman, now 64, began seeing a family doctor at Temple University Hospital (TUH) who prescribes Suboxone—used to treat opioid addiction—and he was finally able to fully shake the drug’s grip. Prevention Point Philadlephia, a public health organization, offers services including a free health clinic and needle exchange for people battling addiction.
