Description
I review the current status of the search for dark matter, focused on the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) paradigm. I then discuss how this paradigm is becoming increasingly squeezed by experiment. I argue that well-motivated models are currently missed by the existing suite of experiments, and discuss current efforts to broaden the search for the nature of the dark matter.
