  • 1 Restoring Scientific Integrity in Policy Making February 18, 2004
    Restoring Scientific Integrity in Policy Making February 18, 2004 Science, like any field of endeavor, relies on freedom of inquiry; and one of the hallmarks of that freedom is objectivity. Now, more than ever, on issues ranging from climate change to AIDS research to genetic engineering to food additives, government relies on the impartial perspective of science for guidance. President George H.W. Bush, April 23, 1990 Successful application of science has played a large part in the policies that have made the United States of America the world’s most powerful nation and its citizens increasingly prosperous and healthy. Although scientific input to the government is rarely the only factor in public policy decisions, this input should always be weighed from an objective and impartial perspective to avoid perilous consequences. Indeed, this principle has long been adhered to by presidents and administrations of both parties in forming and implementing policies. The administration of George W. Bush has, however, disregarded this principle. When scientific knowledge has been found to be in conflict with its political goals, the administration has often manipulated the process through which science enters into its decisions. This has been done by placing people who are professionally unqualified or who have clear conflicts of interest in official posts and on scientific advisory committees; by disbanding existing advisory committees; by censoring and suppressing reports by the government’s own scientists; and by simply not seeking independent scientific advice. Other administrations have, on occasion, engaged in such practices, but not so systematically nor on so wide a front. Furthermore, in advocating policies that are not scientifically sound, the administration has sometimes misrepresented scientific knowledge and misled the public about the implications of its policies.

T URNER Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 2009 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. DAVID NORMAN SCHRAMM October 25, 1945–December 19, 1997 B Y MICHAEL S . TURNER “ E LIVED LARGE IN ALL DIMENSIONS.” That is how Leon HLederman began his eulogy of David N. Schramm at a memorial service held in Aspen, Colorado, in December 1997. His large presence in space went beyond his 6-foot, 4-inch, 240-pound frame and bright red hair. In spite of his tragic death in a plane crash at age 52, Schramm lived large in the time dimension, too. At 18, he was married, a father, and a freshman physics major at MIT. After receiving his Ph.D. in physics from Caltech at 25, Schramm joined the faculty at the University of Texas at Austin. He left for Chicago two years later, and became the chair of the Astronomy and Astrophysics Department at the University of Chicago at age 2. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1986 at 40, became chair of the National Research Council’s Board on Physics and Astronomy at 47, and two years later became vice president for research at Chicago. He also had time for mountain climbing, summiting the highest peaks in five of the seven continents (missing Asia and Antarctica), driving a red Porsche with license plates that read “Big Bang,” and flying—owning four airplanes over his 12-year flying career and logging hundreds of hours annually.

Biographical Memoirs, VOLUME 80 PUBLISHED 2001 BY THE NATIONAL ACADEMY PRESS WASHINGTON, D.C. Courtesy of Robert P. Matthews SAM BARD TREIMAN May 27, 1925–November 30, 1999 BY STEPHEN L. ADLER AM BARD TREIMAN WAS a major force in particle physics S during the formative period of the current Standard Model, both through his own research and through the training of graduate students. Starting initially in cosmic ray physics, Treiman soon shifted his interests to the new particles being discovered in cosmic ray experiments. He evolved a research style of working closely with experimen- talists, and many of his papers are exemplars of particle phenomenology. By the mid-1950s Treiman had acquired a lifelong interest in the weak interactions. He would preach to his students that “the place to learn about the strong interactions is through the weak and electromagnetic inter- actions; the problem is half as complicated.’’ The history of the subsequent development of the Standard Model showed this philosophy to be prophetic. After the discovery of parity violation in weak interactions, Treiman in collaboration with J. David Jackson and Henry Wyld (1957) worked out the definitive formula for allowed beta decays, taking into account the possible violation of time reversal symmetry, as well as parity. Shortly afterwards Treiman embarked with Marvin Goldberger on a dispersion relations analysis (1958) of pion and nucleon beta decay, a 3 4 BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS major outcome of which was the famed Goldberger-Treiman relation for the charged pion decay amplitude.

  • Deconstruction: Standard Model Discoveries
    deconstruction: standard model discoveries elementary types of particles form the basis for the theoretical framework known as the Sixteen Standard Model of fundamental particles and forces. J.J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897, while scientists at Fermilab saw the first direct interaction of a tau neutrino with matter less than 10 years ago. This graphic names the 16 particle types and shows when and where they were discovered. These particles also exist in the form of antimatter particles, with the same mass and the opposite electric charge. Together, they account for about 300 subatomic particles observed in experiments so far. The Standard Model also predicts the Higgs boson, which still eludes experimental detection. Experiments at Fermilab and CERN could see the first signals for this particle in the next couple of years. Other funda- mental particles must exist, too. The Standard Model does not account for dark matter, which appears to make up 83 percent of all matter in the universe. 1968: SLAC 1974: Brookhaven & SLAC 1995: Fermilab 1979: DESY u c t g up quark charm quark top quark gluon 1968: SLAC 1947: Manchester University 1977: Fermilab 1923: Washington University* d s b γ down quark strange quark bottom quark photon 1956: Savannah River Plant 1962: Brookhaven 2000: Fermilab 1983: CERN νe νμ ντ W electron neutrino muon neutrino tau neutrino W boson 1897: Cavendish Laboratory 1937 : Caltech and Harvard 1976: SLAC 1983: CERN e μ τ Z electron muon tau Z boson *Scientists suspected for several hundred years that light consists of particles. Many experiments and theoretical explana- tions have led to the discovery of the photon, which explains both wave and particle properties of light.
