My colleagues know a lot about me because we have been spending so much time together, especially underground, but one thing just a few people know: I\u2019m very good at entertaining children. I\u2019m a perfect baby sitter. I like to invent games for toddlers or elementary school kids. I bet my wife that I could invent a game to teach my daughter the basics of algebra. I called it The Magic World of Linear Algebra. It was Harry Potter-based and used spells and equations. Spell after spell, my daughter became proficient in algebra at 7 or 8 years old. My wife was astonished, and I won the bet.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been working on accelerator-based neutrino experiments for 20 years. The collaborations are usually pretty small \u2013 between 20 and 200 people \u2013 and they are scattered all around the world. With DUNE, for the first time in my life I have the opportunity to work simultaneously with all my friends. Every time I come to Fermilab I see people I haven\u2019t worked with in 10 years. All of the experts are focused on the same goal. It\u2019s unique.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/div>\n
