In summary, I think that neutrino physics is an incredibly rewarding area of science. It has highlighted evidence for the standard model and provided breakthroughs that have changed how we view the quantum properties of subatomic particles. In the future, I believe further experimentation and analysis will be extremely beneficial to all areas of science and may well present us with possible verification of Grand Unified Theories.
