Autobiography, 1986.Brueckner, Keith A.Autobiography, 1986.84 p.Brueckner covers in some detail his early childhood, and interest and experiments in chemistry (some quite dangerous) which led to his first decision to become a chemical engineer but which quickly changed with his increasing interest in mathematics. Brueckner also describes: his travel to Europe immediately before World War II; early mountaineering experiences; enrollment at the University of Minnesota; work in weather forecasting during World War II and completion of his B.A. in mathematics through independent study, credits at the University of Wisconsin, and Army training at Chanute Field; his return to the University of Minnesota as a graduate student in philosophy and physics after the war; marriage and move to the University of California, Berkeley, where he worked as a research assistant in the Radiation Laboratory; his work there with Robert Serber, Wolfgang Panofsky, Luis Alvarez, Ed McMillan, Emilio Segré and Ernest O. Lawrence; his postdoctoral work in meson physics at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton in 1950; effects of the McCarthy era; Red-baiting of the physics faculty at Berkeley; his position at the University of Indiana, Bloomington, and work for the Department of Defense in radar sensing with John von Neumann and Murray Gell-Mann; employment as a consultant at Los Alamos; work at Brookhaven National Laboratory; trips to the U.S.S.R. for conferences; his acceptance of an endowed chair in. Physics at the University of Pennsylvania and the counter offer from Edward Teller at UC Berkeley; his continued work on many-body problems and nuclear structure; and work as a consultant on classified projects. This is both a very personal autobiography and a detailed account of Brueckner's research and professional interests. American Institute of Physics, Niels Bohr LibraryBarschall, H. H.

He was among the founders of GenBank, the world's first nucleic acid database, and was influential in the development of computational techniques for the analysis of DNA sequences. In the late 1980s, he served on the steering committee overseeing the establishment of the Human Genome Project. The Goad Papers relate primarily to the establishment and early operation of GenBank, the early phases of the Human Genome Project, and, more generally, to Goad's role as godfather of the new field of bioinformatics.American Philosophical SocietyLewis H.

Slater was appointed to the head of the department of physics at MIT in 1930, which he and Karl Compton worked effectively to transform into one of international stature. His own work on the electromagnetic theory of microwaves was fundamental to the development of radar systems. During the Second World War, he was affiliated with the radiation laboratory and after he helped found the solid state and molecular theory group, the interdisciplinary Center for Materials Science and Engineering, the Research Laboratory of Electronics, and the Laboratory for Nuclear Science. After his retirement from MIT in 1966, Slater moved to the University of Florida, remaining active until his death in 1976. The Slater Papers contains a wealth of information on the development of physics at MIT, as well as Slater's post-1966 work at the University of Florida. There are about 133 (7 linear ft.) research notebooks, 1944-1976, and a long series (30 linear ft.) of folders, containing lectures, scientific notes, drafts of manuscripts and papers, correspondence during his collaboration with the Los Alamos Labs, 1966-1970, and extensive correspondence relating to the National Academy of Science.

Press releases from the War Department relay background information on the Atomic Bomb Project, the town of Los Alamos, and J. Robert Oppenheimer and Leslie Groves who were key project personnel. The Association of Los Alamos Scientists published The Los Alamos news letter weekly. The purpose of this publication was to "outline current news pertaining to the development, formulation, and operation of national and international control of atomic energy, and to provide news of the activities of the Association and its committees ..." Issues 1-6 of this newsletter are contained in this collection. Correspondence congratulates Los Alamos employees for their role in ending the war, and addresses continued security issues. Dr. Oppenheimer accepted a War Department scroll/production award for the Lab. A copy of the award program and his speech are included in the collection, as is another speech given by Oppenheimer at a meeting of the Association of Los Alamos Scientists (November, 1945), in which he philosophizes about the role of science and scientists and discusses the far-reaching impact of the atomic bomb. Excerpts of articles from the Albuquerque Journal, Santa Fe New Mexican, and New Mexico Magazine provide some of the first descriptions of the "mystery city," when the war was won and the press blackout was finally relaxed. A visitor's brochure provides basic information and a map of Los Alamos. Finally, the collection contains a bulletin/annual report, instructions, and service record form for the Bernalillo County Home Defense Unit. The Unit was organized on December 8, 1941, with members being commissioned as deputy sheriffs to assist authorities. University of New Mexico-Main CampusBridgman, P. W. (Percy Williams), 1882-1961.
