Doctor Atomic: The Manhattan Project: The Scientists

In an unprecedented gathering, 11 scientists who helped develop the first atomic bomb discuss their roles and experiences at a 2008 CUNY symposium related to the opera Doctor Atomic. The discussion begins with an overview by Harold Agnew, the former director of Los Alamos National Laboratory, who was involved in almost all aspects of the Manhattan Project and wrote Chicago, Los Alamos, Tinian Island and the Atomic Bomb. The other scientists speaking are Albert Bartlett, Benjamin Bederson, Robert J. Brown, Morton Camac, Hans Courant, Roy Glauber, E. Leonard Jossem, Nathan T. Melamed, Murray Peshkin and Tom Wartik.
