Biographical Note
Eugene I. Rabinowitch was born in St. Petersburg in April 1898. In 1918, he fled the Red Terror in Soviet Russia with his parents. They went first to Kiev where Eugene briefly enrolled at the University of Kiev, thento Warsaw where Rabinowitch continued his studies. In 1920, the family moved to Berlin.
Rabinowitch studied at the University of Berlin, receiving a PhD in in Chemistry 1925 with a thesis entitled “Über die Darstellung des Zinnwasserstoffs und die Eigenschaften der flüchtigen Hydride” (“Tin Hydrides and Volatile Hydrides”). As a former Russian citizen, he found it difficult to gain an academic position, but following the publication of his book Rare Gases, he became a research fellow at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry in Berlin. He later moved to the University of Gottingen, joining Professor James Franck.
When his fellowship was suspended in 1933, Rabinowitch joined the stream of eminent refugees fleeing Germany. At the invitation of Niels Bohr, he spent a year in Copenhagen, before moving to University College, London, where he worked as a research associate to chemist Frederick G. Donnan. He remained in England for four years.
While lecturing in the United States in 1938, Rabinowitch accepted a position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the Cabot Solar Energy Research Project. In the spring of 1944 he took a leave of absence from M. I. T. to join the Manhattan Project, serving as the chief chemist and section chief in the information division at the Metallurgical Laboratory in Chicago. "My work there," Rabinowitch wrote in 1959,"had to do with the exchange and coordination of information between Chicago, Oak Ridge, Hanford and Los Alamos."
Rabinowitch was concerned about the repercussions of the use of nuclear weapons. In June 1945, with a group of scientists led by James Franck, and including Szilard, Seaborg, and Nickson, Rabinowitch helped to draft what has become known as the "Franck Report," addressed to Secretary of War Henry Stimson, warning of an impending nuclear arms race without effective international control.
The same year, with fellow alumni of the Chicago Laboratory Hyman Goldsmith and John Simpson, Rabinowitch founded the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. After Goldsmith's death in 1949, Rabinowitch became the Bulletin's editor-in-chief.
Rabinowitch's status as a molder of opinion among American scientists, his numerous European contacts, and his fluency in Russian made inevitable his role as a leader of the"Pugwash" movement. The call for an international conference of scientists to discuss the perils of the nuclear age was raised by India's Prime Minister Nehru in 1954. The suggestion was taken up in an exchange of letters between Rabinowitch, as representative of the Federation of Atomic Scientists, and the representative of the Atomic Scientists Association of Great Britain, Joseph Rotblat. The Soviets entered the discussions indirectly through an organization of non-scientists, the Association of Parliamentarians for World Government, which held its conference in London in August 1955; Rabinowitch and Rotblat were among the conferees. Subsequently Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell's joint"appeal" for an international conference of scientists gave impetus to these preliminary organizational attempts. The"appeal" plus the financial assistance of Cyrus Eaton enabled the first Pugwash Conference to convene in 1957 at Eaton's estate, Pugwash, Nova Scotia. Rabinowitch, a founder of the organization, served as a member of the International Continuing Committee of Pugwash from 1957 to 1973 and was president of the movement from 1969 to 1970.
After the first conference the scientists met many more times. Originally, the talks centered upon the scientific implications of atomic energy such as the dangers of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere and the effect of strontium 90 upon the genetic future of humanity. In later meetings the discussions probed the problems of underdeveloped nations and the cooperative roles that science and government should play to increase the food supply, check the population growth, and raise industrial production in these critical parts of the world.
Rabinowitch served as professor of of botany and biophysics at the University of Illinois in Urbana from 1947 to 1968, when became professor of biology and chemistry and as senior advisor to the newly-established Center for Science and the Future of Human Affairs (later called the Center for the Study of Science and Society) at the State University of New York at Albany. Rabinowitch's son, Victor, was director of the Center from 1968 to 1970. Following Victor's resignation, Eugene Rabinowitch served as acting director from March to September 1970. Rabinowitch retired from SUNY Albany on August 31, 1972 and was reappointed as a visiting professor for the 1972-1973 school year. At this time Rabinowitch was given a leave of absence from the University in order to accept a fellowship with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars of the Smithsonian Institute. While in Washington, he continued to write, edit the Bulletin, and participate in Pugwash.
Rabinowitch married Anya Mejerson on March 12, 1932. Their twin sons, Alexander and Victor, were born in London in 1934. Eugene I. Rabinowitch died on May 15, 1973 in Washington, D.C.

Subseries 1 includes lecture notes and a resume. Subseries 2 is a collection of reports, pamphlets and articles on science in the Soviet Union, reflecting Rabinowitch's keen interest in science globally and politically. Subseries 3 are Rabinowitch's notes for speeches and talks. Subseries 4 contains clippings on science, politics and nuclear weapons. Rabinowitch's correspondence with individuals is in Subseries 5; including letters from Topchiev and Skobeltzyn, representing the Soviet Academy of Science. Correspondence with associations and institutions is in Subseries 6. These last two subseries include many draft articles and discussion about publication of publication, by Rabinowitch and others.
