NOVA: Particles Unknown
Outnumbering atoms a billion to one, neutrinos are the universe’s most common yet most elusive and baffling particle. NOVA joins an international team of neutrino hunters as they try to capture an elusive fourth form of neutrino. Their results may force scientists to redraw their blueprint of the subatomic world, the Standard Model of physics, and change our understanding of how the universe works.
An episode of NOVA about neutrinos that I helped shoot in 2020 will finally start airing!
I shot the first and the last ones in the preview, plus a couple of others that I hope are in the show too.
When I was a kid my heroes were people like Carl Sagan, Jacques Cousteau, and whomever was on NOVA that week. When I didn't end up being a scientist and started working in television instead, I hoped that some day I could shoot for NOVA. Check!
Maybe the show will help to inspire another kid to try to become a scientist, and maybe they won't suck at calculus this time.
