I\u2019ve dedicated my whole life to making physicists happy\u2014they come with these crazy ideas and we try to make them happen. I worked on the mechanical tests for how ProtoDUNE goes together at the NOvA lab in Ash River, Minnesota, and spent a year and a half assembling the pieces that were delivered to CERN. It\u2019s a great group of people that we worked with at CERN. It\u2019s a family. It\u2019s like the old collaborations when you knew everybody and their children and had potluck dinners together. There\u2019s a real camaraderie that\u2019s not always present in these large collaborations. I really enjoy getting together with people outside of the work environment. I think you end up ultimately getting a much better product when you\u2019re all working together. I\u2019ll be around to help develop the installation procedures for DUNE, but in theory I\u2019ll retire before they build the first detector. I\u2019ll have to come back and see it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"learnmore\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnal.gov\/pub\/science\/lbnf-dune\/index.html\">Curious about the project?
