A Harvard-sponsored remembrance of Dr. Bernard Lown on Wednesday recalled the Lewiston High School graduate and Nobel Peace Prize winner as a man who built bridges among people the world over to create a healthier, safer life for everyone.
Lown, who died in February at the age of 99, invented the defibrillator – a device that has saved many lives – and championed the effort to abolish nuclear weapons while promoting numerous initiatives to foster better health from his perch as a professor at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston.
