Description
The Lab helped end World War II, but could the Lab survive peace? Join Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) historians Alan Carr and Nic Lewis as they examine the role of Los Alamos in the postwar period. They challenge the notion that the Lab nearly closed its doors after the war. Despite the difficulties, individuals in the government recognized the unique investment Los Alamos embodied. Those individuals acted to ensure the Lab would stay in business long after World War II.
Alan Carr serves as a program manager and senior historian for LANL. Carr completed his graduate studies at Texas Tech University. Nicholas Lewis is a historian with LANL’s classified library, the National Security Research Center. Lewis has a PhD in science and technology history from the University of MN – Twin Cities.
