Doctor Bowles was on this radio show once before, talking about his career at Los Alamos, which spanned 44 years and entailed collaborations with Russia and in a Nobel prize-winning project devoted to Neutrinos. In addition to that proud achievement, he is on the Board of a STEM project named The Supercomputing Challenge (https://supercomputingchallenge.org/) in which Mid and High School Students compete for scholarships and other awards that involve applying science to problems that impact all humanity. In his November show, he is going to discuss the impressive outcome of a recent winning team’s project

“We are a very technology-dependent society and yet we are naïve about the technology that is all around us. So, I am trying to define what it is to make the ideal match between science, technology, the public and the economy.”
