DESCRIPTION:\n    Dark matter is a vital component of the current best mod
 el of our universe\, Lambda-CDM. There are leading candidates for what the
  dark matter could be (e.g. weakly-interacting massive particles\, or axio
 ns)\, but no compelling observational or experimental evidence exists to s
 upport these particular candidates\, nor any beyond-the-Standard-Model phy
 sics that might produce such candidates. This suggests that other dark mat
 ter candidates\, including ones that might arise in the Standard Model\, s
 hould receive increased attention. I will discuss the general class of dar
 k matter candidates with characteristic masses and interaction cross-secti
 ons characterized in units of grams and square centimeters\, respectively 
 -- we refer to these macroscopic candidates as Macros. Such dark matter ob
 jects could potentially be assembled out of Standard Model particles (quar
 ks and leptons) in the early universe. I will discuss the earth-based\, as
 trophysical\, and cosmological observations used to constrain part of the 
 Macro parameter space. Large regions remain unconstrained\, however\, most
  notably for nuclear-dense objects with masses in the range between about 
 50 - 10^17 and 10^20 - 10^24 grams.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/238
