Libby, director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California at Los Angeles. His paper will be on radiocarbon dating. Dr. Libby, who was awarded the Albert Einstein Medal and the Nobel Prize in chemistry, is an authority on natural carbon-14 (radiocarbon), its application to the dating of ancient archeological infarcts and natural tritium, and its use in hydrology and geophysics. His unusual experience in dating medical manuscripts and instruments, particularly those related to urology, will make the Guiteras Lecture of special interest to urologists.
