Dr. Jon Hunner, interim director of the museum, explores the complicated life of the atomic bomb’s father—from his childhood through his scientific career to his involvement with governmental policies during the early Atomic Age. Hunner’s Free First Friday talk, "Broken by Secrets: Robert Oppenheimer and the Early Atomic Age," will focus on Oppenheimer’s leadership of the Manhattan Project, his advocacy for an alternative way of dealing with these new weapons during the Cold War, and the events that led to him losing his security clearance in 1954.
The museum is free to everyone from 5 to 8 pm.
