Ed Van Eeckhout, Ph. D.
The Manhattan Project and Los Alamos National Laboratory
Ed is a long time Rotarian and currently a member of the Waconia Rotary Club. He has a B.A. from the U of M, a Masters from the University of Chicago in Geophysical Science and a PhD from the U of M in Geophysical Engineering. Ed worked for over 39 years at Los Alamos.
He will speak to us about the Manhattan Project, the creation of the laboratory at Los Alamos and the current purposes of that facility. If you haven’t already seen the movie Oppenhiemer, it might be a good idea to watch that movie prior to Ed’s presentation.
