Ever fantasize about the solitude of the South Pole, chasing neutrinos and hanging out under a sun that never sets (actually barely moves)?
Take a trip to Antarctica. Given the Copenhagen conference, Smart Planet and ZDNet blogger Andrew Nusca decided to catch up with a guy actually at the scene of all the hubbub---Antarctica. In Antarctica there aren't private jets, limos and politicians running around yapping about climate change, but there is a lot of science going on.
Andrew talked to Casey O'Hara, a high school physics teacher in California, who has spent the last month chasing neutrinos around. Neutrinos are a fundamental particle of the universe that pass through everything (including you).
A few highlights from the O'Hara interview:
You kind of envy O'Hara a bit even though the Internet access is terrible at times. But hey it's Antarctica: You aren't there to goof around on Facebook.
