Defining Moment
Centennial of the Discovery of Radioactivity — Lawrence Berkeley Lab
Before building companies, there was the obsession of observing the invisible. Working at the Berkeley Lab and co-authoring in Nature Genetics wasn't just about credentials; it was about learning to respect evidence and systems from the ground up.
This photograph was taken at the Centennial of the Discovery of Radioactivity, held at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Glenn Seaborg and Hélène Langevin-Joliot — granddaughter of Marie Curie — were hosting the event. Mr.Q greeted Seaborg personally and spoke with Langevin-Joliot before taking this photograph. Two living links to the greatest chain in the history of nuclear science. Being in that room, as a working scientist at that same laboratory, was not a coincidence. It was earned.
