		Wir kamen von der reinen Küstenregion in die sogenannte „zona bananera“.
		Hier fuhr Archi zügig und zielsicher und schleuderte uns auf der Buckelpiste soweit durch, dass wir mit einigen blauen und grünen Flecken an verschiedenen Körperteilen die Fahrt später beendeten.
		Neugierig schaute ich auf den Rio Magdalena, der auch hier noch eine Breite von circa 600 Metern hatte, und sah, wie eine kleine Nussschale, auf der ich mühsam die Aufschrift „Ambulancia“ erkennen konnte, der Anlegestelle näherte.

	Martin Kamen, discoverer of carbon-14, wins Enrico Fermi Award (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Kamen is currently professor emeritus at both UC San Diego and the University of Southern California.
		Kamen was interested in studying plant photosynthesis and the related problem of carbon dioxide assimilation.
		Kamen, however, was frustrated by that tracer's short half-life (21 minutes) and set out to find a radioisotope of carbon that would be better suited for biochemistry.

	The Enrico Fermi Award - Martin D. Kamen, 1995
		The most well-known of Martin Kamen's many achievements is his discovery in 1940, in collaboration with the late Sam Ruben, of the long lived radioactive carbon isotope carbon-14 and his development of it as a tracer in biological systems.
		Kamen became Professor of Biochemistry at Brandeis University (1957-61) and Professor of Chemistry at the University of California at San Diego (1961-1978).
		Martin Kamen was born in 1913 in Toronto.

		Kamen will travel to Washington, DC, to receive a gold medal from the President, a reception at the White House, and a check for $100,000 (part of which he must return in income taxes).
		The award will undoubtedly mention that Martin Kamen was the first man to synthesize Carbon 14, the first (with his co-worker Sam Reuben) to make a qualitative characterization of its properties, and the first to estimate its half-life (2,000 to 4,000 years in his initial work - now known to be 5,730 years).
		Martin Kamen is honored by the receipt of this award.

		Kamen discovered carbon-14 in 1940 in collaboration with the late chemist Sam Ruben, when they bombarded graphite with protons in the cyclotron at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley.
		In the anti-communist atmosphere of 1943, while Kamen was at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, he was subjected to an investigation after he deduced the presence of a secret atomic reactor because of its effect on a sodium sample.
		Kamen was also an accomplished viola player, and according to Zimm, often claimed that he was "a fugitive from a musical career." He was a close friend of the Russian violinist Isaac Stern.

		Kamen had initiated some experiments to find a longer-lived isotope, but could not obtain enough cyclotron time and resources for this work.
		Kamen was a member of the team of scientists who kept these particle accelerators in operation and improved and modified them for various purposes.
		In Martin Kamen's case, he was forced to leave operation of the laboratory counting apparatus to his co-worker, because Kamen himself was often so radioactive that he disrupted the counters.
