MEYRIN, Switzerland - Adam Yurkewicz was born, raised and schooled in New York state, intending to become an engineer. But in 1996, during his junior year in college, he got hooked on quantum electrodynamics and other wild ideas from the frontiers of physics — and he's never been the same since.

To follow his vocation as a particle physicist, Yurkewicz has been a grad student in Michigan, an experimenter in Illinois, a postdoctoral researcher in New York, and other things in between. He is now working on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, and living in France with his New York-born wife and their first child.

US Leaps Ahead on ALL Frontiers (except science)

Thanks to "W", his clans, and neo-cons surronding him, we are falling behind; not just economically, but in all aspects of life. This trend started in 2001 soon as scientists and many entrepeneirs determined that US has fallen in the hand of bunch of religious nutts. Iranians can learn an important lesson from this backward slide of US and learn that religion has its own place, as does science and other life issues.
