Abstract
SNO's neutral current measurement has added a new piece to the emerging neutrino physics puzzle. Putting together the presently available experimental information, an essentially unique picture emerges: The solar neutrino anomaly is explained by nu_e --> nu_tau oscillations, the atmospheric neutrino anomaly is explained by nu_{mu} --> nu_s and the LSND data are explained by nu_e --> nu_{mu}. This scheme will be tested by future experiments: MiniBooNE will test the oscillation explanation of the LSND anomaly, while the long baseline experiments will discriminate between the nu_{mu} --> nu_s and nu_{mu} --> nu_{tau} possibilities for resolving the atmospheric anomaly (confirming or disconfirming the Super-Kamiokande result that the latter is favoured over the former).
