In the history of science, Donald Arthur Glaser is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Donald Arthur Glaser as American physicist and neurobiologist (1926–2013).
Donald Arthur Glaser was born at Cleveland in 1926. His recorded nationality is the United States. He was educated at California Institute of Technology and Case Western Reserve University.
The twentieth century made work collective, expensive and political, with consequences that reached well beyond the people doing it.
He worked as physicist, neuroscientist and university teacher.
His affiliations include University of California, Berkeley and University of Michigan.
Science advances when somebody insists on measuring what everyone else assumed.
His recorded fields of work are physics.
Recognition followed: Nobel Prize in Physics (1960).
That the work was done from the United States matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Donald Arthur Glaser died in 2013, aged 87. What survives is the work, which is the only durable form of a reputation.
