Karl Warburton: neutrino physicist
Fermilab recently hosted more than 300 middle school students from 13 schools for a special showing of Hidden Figures and a panel discussion with four Fermilab scientists, including Karl Warburton. This video was played as part of the panel introductions.
The goal of the program was to show fifth- to eighth-grade students that entering a STEM field was possible for them – no matter their background. You can read more about the event here:

Karl Warburton discusses how every physicist always adds something to the field since every individual approaches the study in a new way. A scientist on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, Warburton draws new information from pictures of simulated events, and each piece, collaboratively sewn together, contributes to our understanding of the universe.
