文摘
The first part of this interview covers Frank Oppenheimer’s childhood, family background, and early education in New York City; his deep lifelong bond to his older brother Robert; his undergraduate years at Johns Hopkins University (1930-933); his stays at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England, and at the University of Florence, Italy (1933-935); his graduate studies at the California Institute of Technology (1935-939); his postdoctoral assistantship at Stanford University (1939-941); and the frequent summers he spent in New Mexico with his brother, family, and friends.
