The RIAS is little-known, but because of the caliber of the scientists who were there, including Kalman and Lefsetz, it deserves a brief Wikipedia entry. Were these the only noteworthy employees? what about Louis Witten, or Hans Trurnit? or a dozen more? http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3034807

This version of the history of RIAS is too truncated. George S. Trimble, one of the Martin vice presidents, established RIAS in 1955; appointed Martin's accomplished electronics manager, Welcome Bender, to recruit and direct RIAS staff; and Bender's first appointment for RIAS was the internationally recognized general relativity physicist Dr. Louis Witten. By 1961,RIAS had sixty-one Staff Scientists and twenty-four Visiting Scientists. Rudolf Kalman, Solomon Lefschetz, Hans J. Trurnit, and Louis Witten were among the group of Staff Scientists. RIAS was roughly organized into eight disciplines: mathematics, bio-sciences, cosmic ray physics, solid state physics, particle physics, relativity physics, chemistry, and metallurgy. During the 1950s and 1960s, RIAS received considerable praise from various technical periodicals and its staff authored many peer review articles. Tcisco (talk) 22:17, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
