ROBERT C. RICHARDSON [NAS] is the F.R. Newman Professor of Physics and the vice provost for research at Cornell University. He attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute in 1954-1960, where he obtained a BS and MS in physics. After a brief time in the US Army, he returned to graduate school in physics at Duke University. His thesis work involved nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies of solid 3He. He obtained his PhD from Duke in 1966. In fall 1966, he began work at Cornell University in the laboratory of David Lee. Their research goal was to observe the nuclear magnetic phase transition in solid 3He that could be predicted from his thesis work with Horst Meyer at Duke. In collaboration with Douglas Osheroff, a student who joined the group in 1967, they worked on cooling techniques and NMR instrumentation for studying low-temperature helium liquids and solids. In fall 1971, they made the accidental discovery that liquid 3He undergoes a pairing transition similar to that of superconductors. The three were awarded the Nobel prize for that work in 1996. Dr. Richardson has been on the Cornell faculty since 1967. In his more than 35 years at Cornell, he has led an active research program in studies of matter at very low temperatures. In that time, 20 students have earned PhDs while working with him. He has published more than 95 scientific articles in major research journals. He has been active in teaching introductory physics throughout his time at Cornell.

Policy Implications of International Graduate Students and Postdoctoral Scholars in the United States explores the role and impact of students and scholars on US educational institutions and the US economy. The nation has drawn increasingly on human resources abroad for its science and engineering workforce. However, competition for talent has grown as other countries have expanded their research infrastructure and created more opportunities for international students. The report discusses trends in international student enrollments, stay rates, and examines the impact of visa policies on international mobility of the highly skilled.
