Host for this panel discussion. J. Robert oppenheimer. An evolving legacy as one of the most complicated figures in history. Decades may pass before historians come to some consensus about the details of oppenheimers life and what those details mean. Last summer witnessed the release of Christopher Nolans oppenheimer, arguably most elaborate and most costly cinematic exploration of the academic vocation. Just prior to the release of the first trailer for that film in december 2020 to the United States department, energy issued an order vacating. The 1954 Atomic Energy Commission Decision in the matter of j. Robert oppenheimer. The decision that resulted in oppenheimer being stripped of his security clearance. Our panelists will grapple the status of oppenheimers legacy in the wake of that order. The release of the film and ultimately turn their attention to the nature, the relationship, the Scientific Community shares with the federal government. Our panel this evening includes three d

Today, the humanitarian chief of the un for the second convoy of 20 30 trucks could enter the region, delivering much needed aid but admits the un and israel are hav
This week, we are going atomic at the European Organization for nuclear research, cern. We will look at the cutting edge Cancer Treatments that are foxing the physicists. I find it fascinating because it does not talk to my physics brain. So, i am curious to see whether it will bring something or not. How does science become fiction . We will meet an author looking for disaster. We want conflict. We want to see things falling apart. That is where the interesting thing is for a fiction writer. And then there is a scientist with an experiment that could change our understanding of everything. That is a completely unanticipated result new physics and probably a nobel prize for somebody who happens to be involved. Cern is one of the most Famous Centres for science in the world. On the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. Its High Energy Physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence. And i have been allowed in it to meet
Famous centres for science in the world. On the border of switzerland and france, this place has been expanding our horizons for decades. Its High Energy Physics research has helped reveal the secrets of our existence. And i have been allowed in it to meet some of those at the cutting edge. 2500 people work here. 12,000 more pour over the results of the experiments. Here at cern it is a really unique community. It is an International Group of people, so we are from all over the world. Cern is an exciting melting pot of projects and ideas. You see people in restaurantl having tea with their friends and they work on a myriad of different projects. You can knock on the door of a Nobel Prize Winning scientist, ask them a question, and they will say, come in. Lets talk about it and have a coffee. Any young boy or girls dream to work in science, right, is to go to a place which is like a town of science, and that is what cern really is. Its buzzing with the ideas. Its also buzzing with energ
