How does the Committee accomplish its purpose? The Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) fulfills several critical functions for the Air Force: 1) provides independent technical advice to Air Force (AF) leadership, 2) studies topics deemed critical by the Secretary of the Air Force, as well as Air Force Senior Leaders 3) recommends applications of technology to improve AF capabilities, 4) provides an independent review of the quality and relevance of AF Science and Technology programs. These are accomplished through study panels, advisory groups, and review panels. 20b. How does the Committee balance its membership? To account for the wide variety of Science and Technology focus areas that aid the Air Force in the pursuit of technological superiority, the technical expertise of the membership is tracked using 26 distinct technical categories. A strong effort is made to balance board membership in terms of technical expertise, sector (academia, industry, and major scientific institutions), previous government experience, and diversity. 20c. How frequent and relevant are the Committee Meetings? Typically, the entire board meets three times annually to deliberate and vote on the findings and recommendations from both studies and S&T reviews. Full board meetings occur in the Winter, Spring, and Summer timeframes. Fall gatherings are typically administrative in nature. Major studies generally require several information gathering/fact-finding meetings and also hold administrative meetings for briefing preparation and report writing. Science and Technology reviews generally require fact-finding meetings with each technology directorate being reviewed and may be preceded by visits to geographically separate units. 20d. Why can't the advice or information this committee provides be obtained elsewhere? The Secretary of Defense has determined that no other DoD advisory committee can provide the independent advice provided by the committee to the Secretary of the Air Force on scientific and technical issues facing the Department of the Air Force. 20e. Why is it necessary to close and/or partially closed committee meetings? Meetings are not closed to the public unless the Department of Defense determines that items on the planned agenda meet the closed meeting provisions of 5 U.S.C. § 552b(c-1). Pursuant to DoD policy closed meetings can only be authorized by the DoD Sponsor, who is the Secretary of the Air Force or designee, and only after consultation with the appropriate General Counsel. 21. Remarks The SAB completed five of six individual technical reviews of Air Force Science and Technology Programs during 1QFY21. The remaining review was not completed due to travel restriction related to the pandemic. The remaining three FY20 Studies, delayed due to the pandemic, were also completed during 1QFY21. The SAB initiated four FY21 studies in January 2021, at the request of the SecAF. However the pause of SAB operations at the end of January 2021, caused these studies to be put on hold. The SAB provides independent advice on matters of science and technology relating to the Air Force mission, reporting directly to the Secretary of the Air Force and Chief of Staff of the Air Force. Since 1944, luminaries such as Dr. Theodore von Kármán, General James Harold "Jimmy" Doolittle, Dr. Ivan Getting, Dr. Edward Teller, and Dr. Charles Stark Draper, and more recently Dr. Robert Lucky and Dr. Natalie Crawford, have provided visionary and forward-looking advice on technologies such as: supersonic aircraft, weather forecasting, satellite communications, medical research, crewless airplanes, and defenses against aircraft and missiles. Today, the SAB continues to emphasize future technologies through its in-depth reviews of the Air Force Research Laboratory's science and technology developments, and its studies of topics tasked by the Secretary and Chief of Staff. Recent SAB studies have informed Air Force leadership and influenced science and technology pursued and adopted by the Air Force. The SAB continues to look into the future, helping enable continued affordable technological pre-eminence of the U.S. Air Force and the Nation.

Maria Goeppert-Mayer is one of only two females awarded the Nobel Prize for physics since its inception in 1901. (The other was Mme. Curie, who was awarded the prize in 1903.) In fact, only 49 women have EVER won the Nobel Prize in ANYTHING, as opposed to 822 men. Ms. Goeppert-Mayer's biographies provide evidence regarding the difficulty she had in being taken seriously as a scientist because of her gender. It was with her hiring at UC San Diego that she became a full-time faculty professor, earning the respect her training and achievements deserved. We believe Dr. Goeppert-Mayer's home is eligible for designation under Criterion B as defined in the Department of Interior Standards. Although the residence may read today as an interpretation of the mid-century era's California ranch style, it is not atypical of the kind of housing many UCSD professors and members of La Jolla's new scientific community resided in at the time - modest dwellings in tune with economic situations and their new lives as Californians enjoying the amenable climate of the West Coast.

  • Making the Bomb by John Lamperti
    November, 2012 Thoughts on Making the Bomb by John Lamperti I recently finished reading Martin Sherwin and Kai Bird’s monumental American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer.1 It's an admirable book, although I think the title might better have been American Faust. (No less than Freeman Dyson said Oppenheimer made a "Faustian bargain."2) There have been many books about Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb project in general; I've read some but not all of them. This one seems to be definitive. Everything we need to know is there – and it's a fascinating read. Two things struck me especially, and neither was directly about Oppenheimer. One was the ideological rigidity, and the blindness, of the crowd of Army and FBI "security" operatives who dogged Oppenheimer and the whole Manhattan Project from the beginning. To a man (no women are mentioned) they were obsessed with the pre-war leftist politics of many of the scientists, which they found highly suspicious and probably indicative of disloyalty. But while these agents were hounding leftists and "premature anti-fascists" (as supporters of the Spanish Republic were called) at Los Alamos and elsewhere and finding little or nothing, real spies were sending real scientific information to the USSR under their noses, apparently unsuspected. If the "security" people, especially Lt. Col. Boris Pash of Army Counter– Intelligence, had been given free rein, Oppenheimer and many others (but not the actual spies!) would have been banished from the Project and the "Trinity" test, as well as the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, might never have happened.

  • The Evil We Were Interested in Pushing Out
    To the Trustees: The article contained in this number of the Confi- dential Monthly Report was written by George V. Gray of our staff and is of such unusual interest that I am sure all the Trustees will want to read it carefully. Whether the release of atomic energy in the long run will result in good or evil for the race, no one can now say; but whatever the consequences, the Foundation and its related boards cannot escape their share of the responsibility, indirect as it may be. The atomic bomb is the result of influences which, for the most part uninten- tionally and unwittingly, we helped to set in motion, because we were interested in pushing out the boundaries of knowledge, It is a tragic irony that when men have been most successful in the pursuit of truth, they have most endangered the possi- bility of human life on this planet. The towering question which faces the world now is whether the new energies can be controlled. It is, I know, the hope of all of us that the Foundation may be able to make some contribution, however slight, to this end. Raymond B.

He has been labeled both warm and cold, friendly and condescending, affable as well as hurtful. Learning Sanskrit and cultivating the air of an aesthete, as a young professor he stretched the bounds of the scientist’s persona. Yet in the space of a decade, the otherworldly theorist was transformed into a political insider par excellence. His fellow scientists remembered him as a visionary and capable leader at Los Alamos, while his security hearing brought to light foolish mistakes in judgment and human relationships.
