Description
The ongoing search for thermal relic dark matter still yields no results.  The next generation of underground detectors will start to detect neutrinos from the Sun, Supernovae and Cosmic rays.  In this talk I will discuss updates on searches for dark matter at the LHC and a couple of possible ways we can try to discriminate between the background neutrino signal and potential dark matter signals.
