Recent neutrino oscillation experiments have had a series of remarkable discoveries. Now, our job is to decode what these discoveries tell us about physics at the highest mass scales. We suspect that as-yet-unobserved oscillations involving electron-flavored neutrinos may hold important keys to the question. This talk discusses the picture of beyond-standard-model physics which is emerging, some experiments involved in the hunt for the missing electron-flavor neutrino oscillations needed to complete the picture, and a new experiment, DAEdALUS, which is just joining the race for the answer.
