Response to 1981 History of Nuclear Physics Survey, 1982.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/84008668

Three-page, typed response to questionnaire discussing Yergin's early interest in science; education at City College, New York, Union College, and Columbia University under Willis Lamb; postdoctoral work at the University of Pennsylvania with Julius Halpern; his move to Rensselear Polytechnic Institute; and his work in photonuclear spectra. Recipients were asked to discuss their entry into a scientific career in general and nuclear physics in particular, their work during the Second World War, their scientific achievements, the funding of their projects, the roles of related sciences--especially high energy physics--in their research, their work as educators, their perceptions of the public's attitude towards science, and their involvement in physics-related organizations.

In 1919 Edward Bushnell was appointed publicity agent for the University of Pennsylvania. His appointment began a long and expanding effort at public relations at the University. In 1954 the Department of Public Relations expanded its work to include two new units, Motion Picture Services and the Office of Radio and Television. These two offices operated until 1975 when they were phased out of a stream-lined department. From the description of University Film Collection, 1915-1989. (...
