Leon Lederman - WSF's First "Pioneer in Science"

Leon Lederman, a Nobel Prize winning physicist and a long-time friend of the World Science Festival died on Wednesday, 10/4/18. He was 96. Lederman has been part of the World Science Festival since its founding in 2008, when we were honored to recognize him as our first "Pioneer in Science".

"Pioneers in Science" is an interactive program that gives high school students from around the world rare and intimate access to Nobel Laureates, presidential advisors, and other trailblazing scientists. P Pioneers in Science encourages students to participate and ask questions during engaging town-hall-style discussions where speakers share their personal stories, life challenges and career highlights, all with the goal of inspiring by example.
