Biography
From a Jewish family with roots in the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Prussia (from the father's side) and Russia (from the mother's side). He graduated from the Bronx Science School in New York, the famous state special school. Since 1941, he studied at Harvard University in Cambridge (USA). From the second year he participated in the Manhattan project , where he was involved in calculating the critical mass of an atomic bomb. After two years of participation in the project, he continued his studies, received a bachelor 's degree (1946) and a doctorate (1949) at Harvard University. Since 1976, he worked as a professor at Harvard. Over the years, he worked temporarily at CERN , Leiden University and the Collège de France in Paris .
In 2016, he signed a letter calling on Greenpeace , the United Nations, and governments around the world to stop fighting genetically modified organisms [2] [3] [4] .
