[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Great Moments in Science & Technology

[Jerome Slate]

Dear Sci & Tech Group Member,

Greetings.

The Computer and Technology Group steering committee met 8/5/2020 to 
discuss presentations for our Fall semester. Many of our members have 
science & technology backgrounds.We are asking that members of our group 
to present a vignette of a major discovery or development in their own 
field or leading up to it.

The general format would be to (1) present the context of the discovery 
or development, (2) describe the cast of characters involved, (3) 
provide the details of the experiment itself, and (4) explain the 
significance of the discovery or development.This topic area includes 
great discoveries and colossal failures.

If you are willing to present some great moment in science, please let 
me and John Rudy know.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Jerry Slate
