Extractions: (Locarno, Suisse, 30 avril - 2 mai 1997) ADDRESS TO THE PARTICIPANTS AT THE LOCARNO CONGRESS April 30, 1997 Although the end of the millennium is a symbolic episode, it coincides with dynamic changes in society, changes in the way people live, the way organizations work. These changes are generated by technology and, most significantly, by information storage, retrieval and communications. As we prepare to celebrate the 21st century, we note how our lives have been influenced by the advance of science in the 20th. We have progressed from early death by infectious diseases to late death by cancer, heart attack and stroke. We notice that the role of national governments is giving way in economic activity to multinational businesses and their markets. We are also progressing towards a more crowded, warmer, more connected planet. Environmental change, population growth and the development of nations are major problems which will have a decisive influence on life in the 21st century. The function of Universities : to acquire new knowledge and to disseminate this through teaching has always had an overarching goal - to produce graduates who can cope with the world into which they emerge. In view of the awesome implications of the changes we have sketched, it is time to rethink the traditional way Universities have operated. There is now, more than ever, a basic conflict between the training of research specialists who must advance the various scientific and technological disciplines and the need for generalists who can operate in real world problems which recognize no disciplinary borders.

Extractions: Leon M. Lederman Leon M. Lederman is a Professor of Physics at the University of Chicago. He was born in New York City where he attended public schools. He received a B.S. in Chemistry from the City College of New York in 1943 and then served in the U.S. Army during WWII. He earned a Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia University in 1951 and stayed on as a research associate in high energy physics. Using the Cosmotron accelerator at the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island he discovered (in 1956) the long-lived neutral K-meson which was to play an important role in the understanding of elementary particle theory. In 1957 Lederman, Garwin, and Weinrich used Columbia's Nevis synchrocyclotron to perform a crucial experiment that demonstrated that parity was not conserved in the weak interactions. Lederman became the Director of the Nevis Laboratories in 1960 and in that year he and his colleagues Melvin Schwartz and Jack Steinberger began experiments to see if electron neutrinos and muon neutrinos were the same particle or were different particles. The experiments discovered that the muon neutrino was a particle that was different from the electron neutrino. Lederman wrote that the muon neutrino is so elusive that it is "just barely a fact." The 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Lederman, Schwartz, and Steinberger for this discovery. A major part of Lederman's scientific research in the 1960's and 1970's centered on the exploration of the inner structure of hadrons and in 1977 he and his colleagues discovered the upsilon particle.

Extractions: Leon Lederman, internationally renowned high-energy physicist and one of the founding fathers of the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy, joined IMSA's staff in September 1998 to lead the then newly-established Great Minds Program as Resident Scholar. Dr. Lederman's involvement in the worldwide scientific community, as well as his reputation in others areas of society, including education reform, enable him to bring some of the most stimulating and best minds to IMSA. Dr. Lederman is director emeritus of the nearby Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois-where the tau neutrino was recently discovered (after three years of painstaking work). This is a further discovery in the field of particle physics, the area in which Dr. Lederman was involved in during his experimental years at Columbia University in New York. As a result of the discovery of the muon neutrino, a crucial element in the organization of fundamental particles, he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1988. Later, at Fermilab, his group discovered the "beauty" quark. Both neutrinos and b-quarks are primary objects of study in accelerators around the world today.

Extractions: The Columbia Physics Department was constructing a 385 MeV Synchrocyclotron at their NEVIS Laboratory, located in Irvington-on-the-Hudson, New York. Construction was aided by the Offce of Naval Research and "NEVIS" eventually proved to be an extremely productive laboratory, as judged by physics results and students produced. I joined that project in 1948 and worked with Professor Eugene T. Booth, the director of the-cyclotron project. My thesis assignment was to build a Wilson Cloud Chamber. Rabi invited many experts to Columbia to assist the novice staff in what was, for Columbia, a totally new field. Gilberto Bernardini came from Rome and John Tinlot came from Rossi's group at MIT. Somewhat later, Jack Steinberger was recruited from Berkeley. After receiving my Ph.D. in 1951 I was invited to stay on, which I did, for the next 28 years. Much of my early work on 1 ions was carried out with Tinlot and Bernardini. In 1958, I was promoted to Professor and took my first sabbatical at CERN where I organized a group to do the "g-2" experiment. This CERN program would continue for about 19 years and involve many CERN physicists (Picasso, Farley, Charpak, Sens, Zichichi, etc.). It was also the initiation of several collaborations in CERN research which continued through the mid-70s.

Extractions: Spring 2001 APS HOME FEd HOME Previous Newsletters CONTENTS ... Contact the Editors Physics First Leon M. Lederman For the past five years I have been campaigning to change the way science is taught in U.S. high schools [1]. In the vast majority of high schools, students' introduction to disciplinary science starts in ninth grade with biology. About 50% of students go on to a year of chemistry and one in four will take a third year of scienceâthe dreaded physics. The sequence goes back about 100 years and is based upon the notion that physics is the most abstract and mathematical of subjects and should wait for some intellectual maturity and mathematical experience. With the advent of science standards as promulgated by NSES [2] and AAAS [3], there is a strong move towards installing a three-year science and three-year mathematics requirement. Now it is my firm conviction that the existing situation is pedagogically dumb; the subjects are not connected, ninth grade biology is a turn-off with a huge number of new words to memorize, very descriptive with very little if any of the syntheses that characterize the way science works. If there is any doubt, please see the article by Professor Uri Haber-Schaim that analyzes a variety of high school textbooks [4]. With the existence of standards, we have the opportunity of rethinking this sequence and crafting a core science curriculum of three or four years, suitably blended with mathematics. The current political recognition of the importance of education and in particular of science education offers the opportunity of achieving substantial reforms in how we teach science.

Extractions: Regreso Leon Lederman, por una ciencia que resuelva problemas como hambre, enfermedad o pobreza El d octor Leon Lederman, premio Nobel de física 1988 y Miembro Correspondiente de la Academia Mexicana de Ciencias, impartió dos conferencias los pasados 16 y 17 de noviembre, invitado a nuestro país por el Instituto de Física y la Facultad de Ciencias de la UNAM. "The future of high energy physics", la primera, tuvo lugar en el Auditorio Alejandra Jaidar del Instituto de Física. En ella, este pionero de la física de altas energías abordó los avances y retos que enfrentará en el futuro inmediato la investigación sobre partículas elementales. Lederman marcó dos de los principales desafíos que enfrentará esta disciplina en el siglo XXI, motivados por el alto costo de la investigación en este campo: i) el desarrollo de mejores y más económicos aceleradores de partículas; y ii) la utilización de datos provenientes de la astrofísica, pues las estrellas llevan a cabo reacciones entre partículas con altas energías. La segunda conferencia, "Science Education", fue impartida en la sala Carlos Graef del conjunto Amoxcalli, de la Facultad de Ciencias. En ella, el premio Nobel hizo hincapié en la importancia de fomentar la apreciación y comprensión de la ciencia por parte de los jóvenes, sobre todo los estudiantes de enseñanza básica.
