The Manhattan Project
TUESDAY, JUNE 17 
6PM
The Manhattan Project was the top-secret U.S. government project during World War II to develop an atomic bomb. Come hear scientist and author Jeff Colvin --- who spent his career in science working with some of the veterans of the Project --- present his “insider” view of the history of the Project. He will discuss the developments in science that led up to the discovery of nuclear fission on the eve of the War, how the Project came into being, how the site for the new Lab was picked, what life was like at the Lab, what the other Project sites did, and how the world changed as a result of the Project’s success.
