From 16-29 July 1943
@StpDias
held its second summer colloquium, this one focussing on crystals. Max Born was one of the key speakers along with Kathleen Lonsdale and P.P. Ewald.

If you've seen his name may ring a bell, Born mentored Oppenheimer in his PhD studies and together they developed the Born-Oppenheimer approximation
