Background
Sheldon Lee Glashow was born on December 5, 1932 in New York City, USA. His parents, Lewis (Leib) Gluchovsky and Bella Rubin immigrated to the US from Bobruisk, Belarus in the early 20th century. He is the youngest of three children.

This text is intended for a short introduction to pre-calculus physics. Nobel Laureate physicist, Sheldon Glashow, who first proposed the charmed quark, the zee-zero particle, and the idea of grand unification, surveys science's on-going quest to explain the wonders of nature in terms of the simplest laws and the smallest particles - from fire, water, earth and air to quarks and leptons.

Sheldon Lee Glashow was born on December 5, 1932 in New York City, USA. His parents, Lewis (Leib) Gluchovsky and Bella Rubin immigrated to the US from Bobruisk, Belarus in the early 20th century. He is the youngest of three children.
Sheldon Lee Glashow received his early education from the Bronx High School of Science in New York City. After graduating from high school in 1950, Glashow enrolled at Cornell University. After earning his bachelor's degree from Cornell University in 1954, Glashow worked on his doctorate at Harvard University, completing his Ph.D. in 1959. He did a post-doctorate fellowship at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen.
Sheldon Lee Glashow was an associate professor at the University of California from 1962 to 1966. He joined the Harvard University as a professor in 1966, and was named Higgins Professor of Physics in 1979 and became emeritus in 2000. Glashow has been a visiting scientist at CERN, and professor at the University of Marseilles, MIT, Brookhaven Laboratory, Texas A&M, the University of Houston, and Boston University.
Glashow received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1979 for his "contributions to the theory of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles, including, inter alia, the prediction of the weak neutral current," according to the Nobel Prize site. He shared this honor with two other scientists, Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam. Through their work, they had postulated that the two forces of nature—the weak force and the electromagnetic force—could be brought together to form the electroweak force. Glashow also took this idea and applied it to a broader range of elementary particles, including quarks.
Now Sheldon Lee Glashow is conducting research in several areas, including dark matter, the Big Bang Theory, electroweak symmetry breaking and cosmology.

Polemical, witty, and rarely without a trademark cigar, Glashow is a striking character among contemporary physicists.
Sheldon Lee Glashow is married to Joan Shirley Alexander. They have four children.
