Event Type

Proprietor Fred Schubert discusses selected endeavors in Science and Technology during the period 1950-2000. Surprisingly, in a time of large projects involving thousands of contributors, individual stories are often still significant. Further, we find, that when managers of a program lack insight into its technical aspects, things can go seriously awry.

This program will be in the third-floor Shaw Research Library and via Zoom.

Due to limited space, you must register for in-person seating. Below is the Zoom link for the talk.
