What is the birthdate of this American physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics and led a group of eminent researchers in the World Federation of Scientists?
World Federation of Scientists The World Federation of Scientists is a multi-disciplinary association of scientists focused around concentrating talent to solving planetary challenges. Established in Erice, Sicily in 1973 by a group of eminent researchers led by Isidor Isaac Rabi and Antonino Zichichi, it has grown to include more than 10,000 scientists drawn from 110 countries. Notable scientists involved with the association include T. D. Lee, Laura Fermi, Eugene Wigner, Paul Dirac, and Piotr Kapitza.
John Marburger John Harmen Marburger III (February 8, 1941 – July 28, 2011) was an American physicist who directed the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the administration of President George W. Bush, serving as the Science Advisor to the President. His tenure was marked by controversy regarding his defense of the administration against allegations from over two dozen Nobel Laureates, amongst others, that scientific evidence was being suppressed or ignored in policy decisions, including those relating to stem cell research and global warming. However, he has also been credited with keeping the political effects of the September 11 attacks from harming science research—by ensuring that tighter visa controls did not hinder the movement of those engaged in scientific research—and with increasing awareness of the relationship between science and government. He also served as the President of Stony Brook University from 1980 until 1994, and director of Brookhaven National Laboratory from 1998 until 2001.
