This session was chaired by Joseph Martin of University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Talks (and speakers) include: "Commercial Scholarship: Spinning Physics Research into a Business Enterprise" (Orville Butler); "A Place for Materials Science: University of Pennsylvania's Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter" (Brittany Shields); "Dad's in the Garage: Santa Barbara Physicists in the Long 1970s" (Cyrus Mody); "Industrial Physics -- Southern California Style" (Stuart Leslie); "Panel Discussion -- Perspectives on the History of Industrial Physics" (Joseph Martin). Topics discussed include physics in industry; University of Pennsylvania Laboratory for Research on the Structure of Matter (LRSM); Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency; Philip Wyatt; David Phillips; Virgil Elings; General Atomic; North American Aviation.
This professional society of educators, industrial and government research workers, and students of physics and related fields, was established in 1899 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society (APS) meetings are a forum for scientists to gather and share research results on a wide range of physics and physics-related topics.
