A celebration of the science of Edward Teller

As part of his centennial observance, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is hosting a full-day symposium on the scientific legacy of Edward Teller. The event will take place on May 28 at the new Bankhead Theatre in downtown Livermore.
The format will consist of presentations and historical reflections on Teller's scientific career, followed by specialized lectures in each field of science, technology and education where he made seminal contributions. As you will see on the website https://tellercentennial.llnl.gov/, the lecturers are distinguished scientists from around the world, and current experts in each of these fields. The symposium proceedings will be published by World Scientific, including additional recent scientific-historical studies on Teller (Dyson, Sessler & Libby, etc.) Please mark the date, and inform your colleagues of this event as well. The symposium is sponsored by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the University of California, the Hertz Foundation, and the Hoover Institute of Stanford University.
