Lisa Jardine on Leo Szilard and the responsibility of scientists— http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24395740 … — interesting but with some inaccuracies
-
@wellerstein Out of interest, what are the inaccuracies?
@beckyfh Szilard was very brilliant but disliked by anyone who ever had the bad luck to be his boss. This included Bush & Conant.

@wellerstein@beckyfh She is reporting from he father was was a friend and colleague of Szilard's so maybe it's an other perspective -
@rmathematicus@wellerstein@beckyfh Also, security clearance ≠ physics career; and Tube Alloys didn't exist at time of Tizard mission -
@GWilliamThomas@rmathematicus@beckyfh No clearance meant no fission work until mid-1950s, but many other areas of physics possible...
