Quad-City native helps scientists study particles in Antarctica

Davenport native David Glowacki, 56, is part of a project that’s preoccupied with minutiae. Through the software Glowacki develops, scientists observe minutiae — specifically, nearly mass-less particles called neutrinos — at the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a powerful telescope at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica.
