gene dannen hi i m gene dannen i live in corvallis oregon usa i ve spent decades researching the life of leo szilard more about that in a moment but first a news update january 7 2019 i ve updated my article a physicist s lost love leo szilard and gerda philipsborn i can now reveal a secret i ve been keeping my article was the key to solving a genetic mystery on tomorrow s season premiere episode of finding your roots watch january 8 on pbs television in other news as a result of my scanning request to the national archives of india the files on gerda philipsborn s 1937 application for british citizenship are now available through their abhilekh patal web portal september 20 2018 good things have been happening that i m not yet ready to announce one of them is coming on pbs television in january a documentary film is also in pre production august 1 2015 i ve been updating my atomic bomb decision pages i m active on twitter genedannen june 22 2015 i have updated my article it now includes comments by readers january 26 2015 i m pleased to announce the publication of an article that i think may be remembered as long as the story of the nuclear age is told a physicist s lost love leo szilard and gerda philipsborn september 4 2014 i apologize to everyone for my 13 year absence from this website i was doing what i needed to do the long term health crisis in my family that was mentioned here finally ended i will soon publish an amazing article about szilard s life it s all new information based on my original research i don t think anyone who reads the article will ever forget it i will announce its publication through my new twitter account genedannen stay tuned for a wonderful surprise i last published about szilard in the march 2001 issue of physics today you can read that here before that i spoke at the leo szilard centennial in budapest hungary on 9 february 1998 see the conference announcement for the list of speakers here is the full text of my talk leo szilard the inventor and here are some pictures of the budapest events it s old news now but many still remember the publication of my article the einstein szilard refrigerators in the january 1997 issue of scientific american it was widely noticed news reports about the article appeared in english german norwegian and swedish translations were published in arabic chinese french german japanese polish spanish and perhaps other languages albert einstein refrigerators surprising but true science historians knew that leo szilard and albert einstein held many joint patents filed in the late 1920s on home refrigerators without moving parts unfortunately little information beyond the patents themselves was thought to survive after years of historical detective work i was able to tell almost the full story of the einstein szilard collaboration and publish the first known photographs of the refrigerator prototypes i have many people to thank and you can find their names on a page of further references and notes for the article you can also see einstein and szilard s design for an absorption type refrigerator so who was szilard to learn more please visit leo szilard online there s a lot to see and hear there including photographs of his boyhood house in budapest and audio excerpts of some of my interviews i ve been researching szilard s life for decades for a book on his role in the birth of the nuclear age why has my research taken so long well consider that szilard was one of the most versatile and mobile geniuses of the twentieth century let me give you a brief description of my research the leo szilard papers are housed at ucsd in la jolla california it s a wonderful place to research by the way the library is only a short walk from the ocean the ucsd collection contains more than 45 linear feet of szilard s letters patents documents and even his slide rules the szilard papers are voluminous but only a starting point much of the record of szilard s life must be found elsewhere scattered in archives and personal homes throughout the world szilard lived in four countries and most of my time has been spent tracking down letters documents and memories from his wide ranging life my research has taken me across much of the landscape of the nuclear age and twentieth century science i ve interviewed scientists ranging from linus pauling to edward teller i ve visited the trinity site and read the manhattan project files in the national archives szilard s younger brother bela told me about their early days in budapest and berlin aaron novick szilard s long time collaborator in molecular biology told me many stories over the years about their work at the university of chicago there have been so many people and so many archives each holds part of szilard s story it s been an amazing journey and i wish i could tell you all that i ve discovered it s not too late to contact me if you have information do you have letters or photos have you seen szilard references in an obscure archive is there a dusty suitcase in your attic the bulk of szilard s correspondence from his berlin years known to include letters from einstein has never been found if you knew leo szilard or have any new information about him i would love to hear from you gene dannen gene dannen com 3815 n w sylvan drive corvallis or 97330 1713 u s a
