2 professors win Nobel:
Kendall, Friedman confirmed existence of quarks
By Reuven M. Lerner Physics Professors Jerome I. Friedman and Henry W. Kendall PhD '55 were awarded the 1990 Nobel Prize in physics on Wednesday for their research confirming the existence of quarks. Friedman, 60, and Kendall, 64, are the ninth and 10th Nobel laureates currently affiliated with MIT. The $700,000 award, which will be shared with Richard E. Taylor of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, was announced by the Swedish Academy of Sciences early Wednesday morning. Kendall answered questions regarding his research at a news conference later that day. Friedman, who was attending a conference in Fort Worth, TX, was told about the award by his wife. "It was so unbelievable, I literally thought I was still sleeping and that this was part of my dream," he said. President Charles M. Vest, who took office on Monday, expressed excitement about the award. "Professors Friedman and Kendall brought great distinction both to themselves and to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology," he said. "We're very pleased to be able to join today in celebrating their accomplishments, and congratulations to them on behalf of all their MIT colleagues." "We're ecstatic not just because it honors a great intellectual accomplishment, but because . . . they provide good examples that you can be a great scientist and a great humanist at the same time," said Professor Robert J. Birgeneau, head of the physics department.

Nobel Laureate Professor Dies in Diving Tragedy

Night Editor

Nobel Laureate and Professor of Physics Henry W. Kendall PhD '55 died Monday. He was 72 years old. Kendall was a renowned experimental particle physicist. He was also deeply involved in questions of nuclear waste dangers and disposal, as well as being a major nuclear arms control activist. Kendall died while scuba diving in Wakulla Springs State Park in Florida, where he was taking underwater photographs with a friend from the National Geographic Society. At about 5:00 p.m., other divers found him floating in water less than 10 feet deep. He was flown to Tallahassee Memorial Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The Wakulla County medical examiner found that Kendall had not drowned. The Boston Herald reported that the physicist had been using nonstandard, less wasteful scuba gear, and that he had failed to turn on his oxygen supply correctly, suffocating him.
Nobelist in touch with undergrads
As a physicist, Kendall was both a prolific researcher and a dedicated teacher, heavily involved in the undergraduate physics curriculum at MIT. "He was one of the last real hands-on professors," said David Robertson, a technical instructor in the physics department, who worked with Kendall for many years in the Freshman Physics Laboratory.

Jerome Friedman to give Robert Hofstadter Memorial Lectures
The 1997 Robert Hofstadter Memorial Lecture will be presented on the evening of Monday, February 24, '97, by Prof. Jerome Friedman of MIT. Prof. Friedman shared the 1990 Nobel Prize with SLAC's Richard Taylor and MIT's Henry Kendall for research on inelastic scateering from protons and neutrons, which provided the first direct evidence of the quark sub-structure of the nucleon. Prof. Friedman will also give the regular Physics/Applied Physics Colloquium on Feb. 25 at 4:00 in Varian Physics Rm. 101). Prof. Friedman worked with Prof. Hofstadter at the High Energy Physics Laboratory from 1957 to 1960 before accepting a faculty position at MIT. The title of Prof. Friedman's evening lecture will be "Are We Really Made of Quarks?". He will also give the regular Physics/Applied Physics colloquium the following afternoon (Tuesday, February 25), with a title to be announced later. Questions concerning the Hofstadter lecture should be referred to Jenifer Conan-Tice at 415-723-4347. Back to 1996 Newsletter Table of Contents Questions or comments about this website?

Statement by 40 Nobel Laureates Regarding Cloning
NATIONAL OFFICE: 8120 Woodmont Avenue, Suite 750 Bethesda, Maryland 20814-2762

Two National Academy of Sciences expert committees, as well as noted national and international organizations, have evaluated current scientific and medical information and have concluded that cloning a human being using the method of nuclear transplantation cannot be achieved safely. Such attempts in other mammals often have catastrophic outcomes.  Furthermore, virtually nothing is known about the potential safety of such procedures in humans. Consequently, there is widespread and strong agreement that an attempt to clone a human being would constitute unwarranted experimentation on human subjects and should be prohibited by legislation that imposes criminal and civil penalties on those who would implant the product of nuclear transplantation into a woman’s uterus. Unfortunately, some legislation, such as that introduced by Senator Brownback (R-KS) would foreclose the legitimate use of nuclear transplantation technology for research and therapeutic purposes. This would impede progress against some of the most debilitating diseases known to man. For example, it may be possible to use nuclear transplantation technology to produce patient-specific embryonic stem cells that could overcome the rejection normally associated with tissue and organ transplantation.  Nuclear transplantation technology might also permit the creation of embryonic stem cells with defined genetic constitution, permitting a new and powerful approach to understanding how inherited predispositions lead to a variety of cancers and neurological diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

against the aggression on Croatia
Many people throughout the world contributed to the international recognition of Croatia (January 15, 1992). We would like to present a list of 104 Nobel prize winners (in alphabetic order) who signed an appeal to stop the aggression of the Yugoslav Army on Croatia that started in 1991 (The New York Times, January 14th, 1992). We do this we the feeling of deepest gratitude.
An Appeal by 104 Nobel Laureates
FOR PEACE IN CROATIA
During the past several weeks the Yugoslav Army has escalated its war against Croatia. Dozens of villages have been razed. Many historical monuments have been destroyed. Several cities, including Croatia's capital of Zagreb, have been bombed. Over 2,000* people have been killed. The undeclared war has already produced more than 100,000* refugees. The violence and destruction unleashed in Croatia is on a scale unknown in Europe since the Second World War. Innocent civilians are massacred. Hospitals and places of worship are destroyed. Conscience demands that we raise our voices against this senseless war.
  • We appeal to the Western and Eastern governments to stop the Yugoslav Army wanton destruction.

http://uscnews.sc.edu/phys028.html
USC THIS SITE February 6, 2003 Nobel Prize physicist to give public lecture Feb. 19 at USC Nobel Prize-winning physicist Dr. Jerome I. Friedman will be the featured speaker at a 6 p.m. lecture Wednesday, Feb. 19, at the University of South Carolina’s law school auditorium. The free program, titled "Are We Really Made of Quarks?" is intended for the general public, as well as high-school and college students. A professor at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology, Friedman was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1990 for advances in the field of experimental high-energy physics. His work with physicists Dr. Henry W. Kendall of MIT and Dr. Richard E. Taylor of Stanford University led to the development of the quark model in particle physics. He now is president of the American Physical Society. The existence of quarks, the smallest known component of matter, was a highly controversial and hotly debated topic among physicists. Friedman will tell how his work with Kendall and Taylor resulted in a new understanding of the composition of atoms and how their work changed scientists’ concepts of matter. The son of Russian immigrants, Friedman grew up in Chicago and turned down an art scholarship to study at the University of Chicago. His interest in physics had begun with his reading "Relativity" by Albert Einstein. After studying liberal arts, Friedman earned master’s and doctoral degrees in physics from the University of Chicago and began his career as a researcher at the High Energy Physics Laboratory at Stanford University. In 1960, he joined the physics faculty at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and began a collaboration with physicists at Stanford to study the makeup of atoms. In addition to teaching, Friedman became director of the Laboratory for Nuclear Science at MIT and was head of MIT’s physics department.
