	Who Was George Gamow? (Cosmology: Ideas)
		Gamow was called back to the Soviet Union in 1931, but he was unhappy there.
		He used permission to attend a conference in Brussels in 1933 to escape to the United States, where he took a position at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He was not cleared to work on the Manhattan Project, but later participated briefly in the development of the hydrogen bomb.
		Gamow introduced nuclear theory into cosmology and laid the foundations for research into the formation of elements in a big bang.

	Who Was George Gamow? (Cosmology: Ideas)
		When Alpher and Gamow prepared a paper on the subject, Gamow mischievously added the name of the noted nuclear physicist Hans Bethe to the list of authors so it would be called the “Alpher-Bethe-Gamow paper,” mimicking the “alpha-beta-gamma” of the first letters of the Greek alphabet.
		Despite Herman’s refusal, in a paper in a major scientific journal Gamow referred to “the neutron-capture theory...developed by Alpher, Bethe, Gamow and Delter.” Not least among his notable characteristics was his sense of humor.

		But so did George Gamow and his students, who made their stunning prediction back in 1948 but never got the Nobel.
		Gamow was one of the principle architects of the Big Bang theory, the seminal idea that the entire universe began in an unimaginably hot explosion, which blasted the stars and galaxies in all directions in an expanding universe.
		Gamow, ever the gentleman, had never complained publicly, but in private letters he wrote that it was unfair that their work never got the recognition it deserved.

	DNA: An "Amateur" Makes a Real Contribution (Reason): American Treasures of the Library of Congress
		In 1954, George Gamow made what has been called "perhaps the last example of amateurism in scientific work on a grand scale." Less than a year after James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the molecular structure of DNA, Gamow, a professional physicist and amateur biologist, proposed the first definite coding scheme for DNA.
		This Danish reprint of Russian-American physicist George Gamow's 1954 Nature article illustrates his diamond-shaped holes in the double helix of DNA and the coding scheme for protein synthesis that he proposed in 1953.
		Although the physicist Gamow had made errors in his sequencing suggestion, Francis Crick later stated that Gamow's idea was provocative and led him to consider immediately the all-important coding problem.

		Born in the Ukraine, at Odessa, in 1904, Gamow lived through the turmoil of revolution and civil war in Russia, and studied at the University of Leningrad, where he learned about the new discoveries in quantum physics and Albert Einstein's new theory of the Universe, the general theory of relativity.
		In 1931, Gamow was called back to the USSR, where he was appointed Master of Research at the Academy of Sciences in Leningrad, and Professor of Physics at Leningrad University, at the tender age of 27.
		Gamow's team predicted, almost fifty years ago, that the Universe must be filled with radiation left over from the Big Bang, cooled all the way down to about 5 K. The radiation would be in the form of microwaves, just like those used in radar or in a microwave oven.
