Biography of Robert Woodrow Wilson (nobelprize.org)

Dr. Robert Woodrow Wilson, Nobel Laureate, along with the community, commemorated the 60th anniversary of the initial measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, a pivotal discovery regarding the Big Bang origins of the universe, at the AT&T Labs Science and Technology Innovation Center & Museum, 200 S Laurel Ave, Middletown, New Jersey.

STEM students had a unique opportunity to attend a luncheon where they could meet and interact with leaders and luminaries, igniting their passion for future scientific discoveries. A STEM activity offered a chance to view historical recordings of scientific inventions at Bell Lab and engage in meet-and-greet sessions.
