Tiffany Christian and host Sasha Whittaker  discuss the winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize for Physics, Leon Lederman.

Born in 1922 in Manhattan, Lederman always had a passion for knowledge. After completing a

B.A in Chemistry at CCNY and serving in the army, he returned to NYC to get his masters and Ph.D

in Physics. Working with the Nevis Synchrocyclotron at Columbia University, Lederman, along

with Melvin Shwartz and Jack Steinberger discovered the muon neutrino, an sub atomic particle that is 200 times smaller

than an electron.
