I describe some of my activities, academic and personal, since coming to the United States in 1946 at the age of 16. It has been a long journey with many ups and downs. I selectively and briefly describe my experiences in a rabbinical school with an attached (parochial) high school, at Brooklyn College, in graduate school at Syracuse University, during a postdoc with Lars Onsager at Yale University, and in my academic positions at Stevens Institute of Technology, Yeshiva University and Rutgers University. I write at greater length about some experiences traveling to the Soviet Union (now Russia) during the period of 1978–1990, where I went to meet with refusenik and dissident scientists. There, I met Andrei Sakharov, whose fight for human rights has been an inspiration to me. I conclude with a talk I recently gave (via film) at the March 2024, meeting of the American Physical Society.

人权与科学：传记


我描述了自 1946 年 16 岁来到美国以来的一些学术和个人活动。这是一段漫长的旅程，有许多起起落落。我有选择地简要地描述了我在拉比学校和附属（教区）高中、布鲁克林学院、雪城大学研究生院、耶鲁大学 Lars Onsager 博士后以及我在史蒂文斯理工学院、叶史瓦大学和罗格斯大学的学术职位上的经历。我更详细地描述了 1978 年至 1990 年期间前往苏联（现在的俄罗斯）的一些经历，在那里我去会见了反对者和持不同政见的科学家。在那里，我遇到了安德烈·萨哈罗夫（Andrei Sakharov），他为人权而战一直激励着我。最后，我以我最近在 2024 年 3 月的美国物理学会会议上（通过电影）的演讲作为结束。
