After hospital training in internal medicine [ went back to the Berkeley campus, to the Radiition Laboratory, in early 1946 which was not so long after Alamogordo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I did studies in biophysics, research and teaching in radiobiology, and was associated with John Lawrence in clinical radioisotope work. In Ernest Lawrence's Radiation Laboratory, and in the University more gyeneraily, [had responsibilities in miedical physics ant radiation prote tion. Then after some twelve years [ went to Geneva, Switzerland,.o work for a year or two—and stayed for ten—wita the World Healta Organization in radiation hea‘th, radiation medicine, and human genetics, Lhave just returned ‘rom California at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Livermore, concerned with laboratory research once again, naving spent ample time for the present in international administration which is extremely interesting but ofter a bit removed from animals and test tubes. & ~~. fe a te CTRar ore se ae aecacheBIOSad, LOM AiArapeistbae ae, focus heer95sec Bec88ies mikes Kas ably 7 I suspect we all feel that potential energy is just as real as kinetic energy.

When Bob Miller introduced himself [ rejoiced in the shared memories of some very happy years in Japan; and finally as Frank Fremont-Smith spoke of the dent that this conference would mate, [thought, in view of the way we are fed and beveraged, that a bulge rather than 1 dent was the more likely outcome, But there was an alternative to this play on the introductions
