Lightman received his PhD in theoretical physics from the California Institute of Technology in 1974. In his scientific work, Lightman has made fundamental contributions to the theory of astrophysical processes under conditions of extreme temperatures and densities. In particular, his research has focused on relativistic gravitation theory, the structure and behavior of accretion disks, stellar dynamics, radiative processes, and relativistic plasmas. His research articles have appeared in The Physical Review, The Astrophysical Journal, Reviews of Modern Physics, Nature, and other journals of physics and astrophysics. For his contributions to physics, he was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1989 and a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science the same year. In 1990, he chaired the science panel of the National Academy of Sciences Astronomy and Astrophysics Survey Committee for the 1990s. He is a past chair of the High Energy Division of the American Astronomical Society. In 1981, Lightman began publishing essays about science, the human side of science, and the "mind of science," beginning with Smithsonian Magazine and moving to Science 82, The New Yorker, and other magazines. Since that time, Lightman's essays, short fiction, and reviews have appeared in The American Scholar, The Atlantic Monthly, Boston Review, Daedalus, Discover, Exploratorium, Granta, Harper's, Harvard Magazine, Inc Technololgy, Nature, The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The New York Times, Smithsonian, Story, Technology Review, and World Monitor. His novel Einstein's Dreams was an international bestseller and has been translated into thirty languages. In 1989, Lightman was appointed professor of science and writing, and senior lecturer in physics, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. From 1991 to 1997, he headed the Program in Writing and Humanistic Studies at MIT. <br/> <br/>Description: Presented on Wednesday, March 5, 2008 from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm in room 100 of the Management Building on the Georgia Tech campus; Part of the Karlovitz lecture series, sponsored by the Georgia Tech Honors Program and the College of Sciences Tue, 04 Mar 2008 22:58:59 GMT http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/20538 Title: Local Food: Sustainability is Participation <br/> <br/>Authors: Katz, Sandor Ellix <br/> <br/>Abstract: Eating local is more than a consumer experience. It means rebuilding a whole web of relations and demands not only interactions with farmers, but more of us becoming food producers directly involved with the sources of our food: plants, seeds, animals, microbes, earth. Get inspired to reclaim food, power, and dignity. Sandor Ellix Katz is a fermentation revivalist, activist, and author, who travels widely teaching and sharing fermentation skills. His passion for fermentation developed out of his overlapping interests in food, nutrition, and gardening. <br/> <br/>Description: Part of the Georgia Tech Sustainable Food Project, sponsored by the Georgia Tech Honors Program, The School of Literature, Communication & Culture, and Students Organizing for Sustainability.; Presented on March 3rd, 2008 11am to 12 pm at the Georgia Tech Library East Commons Performance Space Sun, 02 Mar 2008 22:58:59 GMT http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/20263 Title: The HyPe, January/February 2008 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 22:58:59 GMT http://smartech.gatech.edu/handle/1853/18827 Title: The HyPe, October 2007 Wed, 24 Oct 2007 22:58:59 GMT
