Meet Linda Bagby. 

Linda Bagby makes sure that Fermilab's projects stay grounded. She's an engineering physicist and electrical coordinator for experiments studying mysterious particles called neutrinos, and she ensures that all of the electronics work together flawlessly so that researchers can get the data they need. There’s no set routine for an engineering physicist -- you might find her fielding questions in Wilson Hall, taking measurements at one of the detectors, or meticulously inspecting equipment at a test site.

Watch the video above to find out what a day is like for this integral member of the Fermilab team.
