Link to “MINERvA: I can’t believe we built the whole thing” video
This is a 45 minute program hosted by Fermilab, the third lecture in its series about “How to do Big Science”. In this talk I describe what happens between when an experiment gets approved to be built and when the experiment actually is completely built and starting to take data. (April 22, 2022)

Link to Teletube video
This is a 45 minute program hosted by the Allan I Carswell Observatory, a 1m-telescope located on York’s Campus.  The program starts with a great view of the moon on the night of September 23, 2020.  Then students ask me questions about my research: I talk about the three different neutrino experiments where I am currently active.

Neutrino Monologues
This is a one-woman play I wrote describing events in the history of the neutrino.  The link above takes you to the 30-minute version of the performance that I gave at CityCode in Chicago in 2015.

2005 Blog for Quantum Diaries
This is a blog I wrote throughout the year 2005 as part of the celebration of the Year of Physics. The posts are in opposite chronological order, and cover topics that range span starting up a new experiment, parenting a 4 and a 7-year-old, and plenty of topics in between those two.

Women @ Energy
This is a short piece I wrote for a series that showcases women in STEM talking about to talk about what got them there in the first place. Mostly I’m putting it here because I really like the photo, taken by Reidar Hahn.

Fermilab: Science at Work
Film by 137Films: As described by Fermilab’s Youtube Channel Description: Six days. Three frontiers. One amazing lab. From 2010 to 2012, a film crew followed a group of scientists (including me) at the Department of Energy’s Fermilab and filmed them at work and at home. This 40-minute documentary shows the diversity of the people, research and work at Fermilab.
