Research Interests
Heinz Barschall was a faculty member at UW, with joint appointments in
Physics, Medical Physics, and Nuclear Engineering, from 1946 until his
retirement in 1986. He passed away in 1997. Heinz worked on the
Manhattan Project, had his lab blown up in the famous Sterling Hall
bombing, and was a hero among librarians for his exploration of the
costs of scientific journals. He passed along these reminiscences
before he retired and I just found them as I was cleaning up my
office. Enjoy.
