SUMMARY:Neutrino Oscillations at Work\, Physics Department Colloquium\
 , Jenny Thomas\, University College London
DESCRIPTION:The observation that the three types of neutrino flavor os
 cillate among themselves led to the realization that neutrinos have a 
 very small but non-zero mass. This is extremely important because the 
 supremely successful Standard Model of particle physics had expected\,
  and indeed needed\, the neutrinos to have exactly zero mass. Since th
 e discovery of neutrino oscillations over the last 15 years\, the para
 meters of the oscillations have been sufficiently well measured to tur
 n neutrino oscillations into a tool for learning more about the elusiv
 e neutrino. I will explain the concept of neutrino oscillations\, and 
 report on the recent results from around the world in context with the
  new challenges now facing researchers of inferring the remaining unkn
 own<br><br>
\nneutrino properties. I will talk briefly about an exciti
 ng new project on the horizon for the very near future.
