| Bemærkning | Barbara Merrihew Perkins "Perky" Gamow (May 22, 1905 - December 1975) was an American publicity manager, editor and translator. She was the second wife of George Gamow. Ann Bohr was the wife of Niels Bohr's son Erik. George Gamow (1904 - 1968) was a Russian physicist. After graduation from the University of Leningrad in 1926, he attended summer school in Gottingen and decided to see if the newly formulated quantum theory, so successful in explaining the structure of the atom, could also be applied to the atomic nucleus. Through research he was able to explain the then-mysterious phenomenon of natural radioactivity. He worked with Bohr in Copenhagen between 1929 an 1930. In 1934 he emigrated to USA where he worked at the George Washington University and the University of Colorado. In 1956 he was awarded the Kalinga Prize by UNESCO for popularization of science.
