Introduction
I am a longtime corporate and technical communications professional, playwright, and publisher having completed my MA in Science & Technology Studies at York University (in 2014). My focus is on the life and work of pioneering experimental atomic physicist, MIT professor, and co-founder of High Voltage Engineering Corporation (HVEC) Robert J. Van de Graaff. I'm working on his biography so any info, help, tips, photos, etc. are greatly appreciated.
