- acqq 11y agoRead his statement here: http://www.lescienze.it/news/2012/03/30/news/opera_ereditatos_point_of_view-938232/ http://www.lescienze.it/news/2012/03/30/news/opera_ereditato... What happened before is described in the Nautilus article: "In March of 2012, as the dust settled, the OPERA collaboration held another vote, this time to determine whether the collaborators had confidence in the leaders of the experiment. Each member institution got one vote. The tally ended at 16 to 13 favoring no confidence with several abstentions, well short of the two-thirds majority required to impeach the leadership, but enough to send a strong message. Both the OPERA leader, Ereditato, and the experimental coordinator, Dario Autiero, resigned." He's, as far as I understand, now the director of the Laboratory for High Energy Physics at Bern University: http://www.lhep.unibe.ch/modx/index.php?id=86&uid=4 http://www.lhep.unibe.ch/modx/index.php?id=86&uid=4
