Why Is Samuel Devons Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Samuel Devons FRS was a British physicist and science historian. Biography Devons, son of a Lithuanian immigrant, David Isaac Devons 1881-1926 and Edith Edelston from York 1891-1938 Sam was born in Bangor, Wales. When he turned 16, he was awarded a scholarship for physics at Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1935, Devons received his bachelor's degree at Trinity College, and his PhD in 1939.
