MIT Physics Lecture Series:h Taking A Break From Theoretical Physics By Thinking About Policy Formation
Professor S. James Gates Jr - MLK Visiting Professor in Physics for 2010-2011
Wed Jan 26, 01:30-02:30pm, 6-120
Participants welcome at individual sessions (series)
By April of 2009, S. James Gates Jr. found himself with a gubernatorial appointment to the Maryland State Board of Education and an appointment to the U.S. President's Council of Advisors on Science & Technology. In spite of this, he also still actively pursues fundamental questions in the area of `supersymmetry.' This presentation reflects on Professor Gates’ arc of history that began with two bachelor of science degrees (mathematics and physics) from MIT in 1973 to answer the query on how this all happened.
