	Physics at Minnesota: Van Vleck Lecture: Douglas D. Osheroff
		Douglas Osheroff, the twenty-fourth Van Vleck Lecturer, is Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Stanford University.
		Professor Osheroff grew up in a medical family in a small logging town on the west coast of Washington State where his father was a doctor.
		The day Osheroff earned of his Nobel Prize, after only a few hours of sleep, he taught his class on the physics of photography, although the class was not on photographic lenses but the discovery of superfluidity in He-3.

	Douglas Osheroff gives Ethics@Noon talk: 5/00
		Osheroff said it disturbs him when researchers are forced to make claims about their work that they only marginally believe in themselves because the government and the public don't understand the process of basic research.
		Finally, Osheroff said, as a laureate, he feels a greater sense of responsibility to "propagate the enthusiasm I feel for science" and to "gently correct" the misimpressions people have about the discipline.
		Osheroff said that once an aide to a state legislator called him and asked for his views on science education, from kindergarten to 12th grade.

		Osheroff's lecture focused on his work as part of the 13-member Columbia Accident Investigation Board appointed almost immediately after the loss of the Columbia, which broke apart over East Texas on Feb. 1, 2003, upon its descent to return to Florida, with the lives of all seven of the international astronaut team aboard lost.
		Osheroff said that there are two events he will never forget in his life: the assassination of John Kennedy, and the Columbia Shuttle accident.
		Osheroff asserts that the Columbia Accident Investigation Board believed that aero and vibrational forces, acting upon foam weakened by internal defects, led to a large piece of foam falling off the left bipod spindle and impacting the left wing leading edge structure.

	Douglas D. Osheroff - Superfluid Helium-3
		Osheroff enjoyed the atmosphere at Bell Labs, where the requirement was that the work be "good physics," and he continued his research in superfluidity in helium-3.
		Osheroff left Bell Labs in 1987, partly because his wife had been offered a great job in California, and joined the faculty at Stanford as Professor of Physics and Applied Physics.

		Osheroff noticed minute jumps in the internal pressure of the sample of helium-3 under investigation, and he drew the team's attention to these small deviations.
		Osheroff conducted research at Bell Telephone Laboratories from 1972 to 1982 and headed solid-state and low-temperature research there from 1982 to 1987.

		Osheroff, who is a professor in the Physics Department at Stanford University in California, worked at Bell Labs between 1972 and 1987, where he was head of the Solid State and Low Temperature Physics Research Department.
		Osheroff and colleagues, Lee and Richardson, found that the helium isotope helium-3 could be made superfluid at a temperature only about two thousandths of a degree above absolute zero.
		It was Osheroff's vigilant eye that noted small, extra jumps in the curve measured, convincing him and his co-workers that it was a true effect of a phase transition which turned out to be in theliquid and not the solid.

		Osheroff noted in an e-mail interview with The Daily that, though he was not a space expert, his knowledge in other areas could be useful.
		Osheroff was appointed to the board after retired Adm. Harold Gehman, chairman of the board, appealed to NASA administrators for more independent members.
		Osheroff's appointment is reminiscent of Nobel Laureate physicist Richard Feynman's appointment to the board investigating the Challenger explosion.
