Maria Teresa Dova has been instrumental in bringing scientists in Argentina new opportunities to participate in particle physics and astrophysics experiments, including one that co-discovered the Higgs boson.
In the last few decades, Argentina and Chile have proven themselves prime spots for astronomical observation — a status that has been a boon in many ways for both countries.
Physicists up and down the Western Hemisphere are fans of neutrinos, and experiments to study the subtle particle are flourishing at Fermilab and throughout Latin America.
