Will Thomas Joins the AIP History Center
 Will Thomas has joined the AIP Center for History of
Physics for a three-year term as Associate Historian.
Thomas received his PhD in the History of Science
from Harvard University this June after completing his
dissertation, “A Veteran Science: Operations Research
and Anglo-American Scientific Cultures, 1940-1960.”
At Harvard, he revived his department’s History of
Physical Sciences Working Group, and was a teaching
assistant for “The History of American Capitalism” and
“The Einsteinian Revolution.” He was a history major
and physics minor as an undergraduate at Northwestern
University, where he also worked as an assistant in a
nuclear magenetic resonance lab.
Thomas replaces our previous postdoc, Babak Ashrafi, who
moved on to an important position in Philadephia (see the
article “Philadelphia Area Center for History of Science
Launches Cooperative Programs”).
