Searches for a nonzero neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) are probes of new sources of time reversal symmetry violation and may give clues to the puzzle of the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. This talk will present an overview and status of the nEDM experiment under development at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) ultracold neutron source, which targets a measurement uncertainty of 10^-27 e-cm. Some of the experimental team’s findings during the present commissioning of major components of the apparatus will be described. Time permitting, some advice regarding the transition from a physics PhD to an industry data science position will be discussed.
