James MosleyRutherford’s Discovery of half-life
•I would guess, that because this was written by Rutherford, he will say how, when, and why he discovered half-life (whatever half-life is).
•During Rutherford’s life time: the Panama Canal was built, the Wright brothers flew their plane, the first Olympics that contained women was held in Paris, and Ford introduced the model-T.
•Well he was not really chosen to do it. He and his partner had the skills, equipment, and the time to do the needed testing.

2. In what additional scientific developments did Rutherford participate?
3. Give some background on Rutherford (family origins, universities where he taught, etc.)
