Description
K.C. Cole speaks at the Exploratorium, joined by San Francisco Chronicle’s eminent science editor David Perlman, who knew Oppenheimer and the Exploratorium at its founding.A new biography profiles Exploratorium's fascinating founder Frank Oppenheimer, brother of J. Robert Oppenheimer -- which, he wise-cracked, probably made him the “uncle” of the atom bomb. Like his famous brother, Frank was a brilliant physicist, and also black-listed by the House UnAmerican Activities Committee after the war. Ultimately, he was the guiding genius behind the Exploratorium, the place that started a worldwide revolution in museums and science education.
