The early members of the Duke Physics department still have a
large impact on our lives in the department today.
Biographies of some past members of the
department can be found here in this directory of Distinguished Faculty
From the edited
interviews included in this section of the Physics Department website, we learn about the Physics Department, and about the research and teaching experiences of former and current members of the Duke Physics Department in the second half of the twentieth century. We also gain insight, for this same period of time, into the evolution of Duke University and the city of Durham.
Horst Meyer and Maxine Stern together organized the interviewing project, which is currently ongoing. Maxine Stern conducted the interviews. Barry Wilson provided technical assistance. Finn Cohen and Emily Ladue did the film editing.
