Profesor Adjoint of Physics and JILA/NIST Fellow Judah Levine serves as the head of the Network Synchronization Project in the Time and Frequency Division at NIST. He was recently interviewed by Denver 7 and the New York Times about timekeeping, the history of the leap day, and why he's advocating for a leap minute rather than periodically adding leap seconds.
