Alvin Weinberg has an incredible resume, if you will.
He came to Oak Ridge in 1945 as a Manhattan Project scientist and stayed in the city until his death in 2006. He was an influential nuclear physicist and the longest-serving director of Oak Ridge National Lab, home of some of the country s most important scientific achievements. He was a scientific bridge between the use of the nuclear bomb to the importance of climate change.
