LEGACY CONTINUES
George Gamow lead a very successful life. He had many contributions to the science world. The most focused points of his study came at the George Washington University. This university has the largest constructed nuclear physicist academy because the professors followed Gamow's insights into the interactions between particle shape and structure of the universe.
Gamow was used as a stepping stone for many other physicists as in the example of Dalong Pang. He has a Ph.D. in Biophysics and is studying the destruction of what radiation does to DNA.
