Hypothetical Obituary Notice For Stephen Rosen (02-18-12)Stephen Rosen, who helped several hundred Jewish émigre scientists and refuseniks who fled the former Soviet Union after its collapse, to find work in their specialties in the U.S., died in his sleep. The cause of his death, according to his wife and business partner, Celia Paul, was hypochondriasis Rosen founded the Science & Technology Advisory Board, a non-profit organization that pioneered in developing new methods of career management for scientists and engineers. Both wrote the book "Career Renewal" (1998) and articles on career counseling for lawyers, scientists and physicians. Together they produced workshops and seminars at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York at medical societies, at Mount Sinai Medical School of Medicine MD-PhD Program, at Rockefeller University and MIT for scientists, and at the US National Academy of Sciences. Previously, he wrote articles and edited a book on the origins of cosmic radiation and the collisions of primary high-energy cosmic-ray protons with interstellar and intergalactic hydrogen to produce anti-protons. In 1968 he was research scientist at the Institut d'Astrophysique in Paris, and the Centre d'Etudes Nucleaires de Saclay. From 1969 to 1970, Rosen was Senior Professional Staff member of the Hudson Institute, working on national security issues and technological forecasting. Using novel information-gathering methods, his book "Future Facts" (1976) correctly predicted several hundred embryonic developments in science and technology, communications, transportation, medicine and health, construction, and computer engineering. As an Assistant Professor of Physics at the State University of New York Maritime College 1960 to 1966, his colleagues and students said he was an inspiring, witty, and admired teacher. On one occasion, lecturing on relativity he brought all his students to their feet applauding wildly by deriving Einstein's famous equation (E=Mc squared) from first principles in a single 45-minute lecture. Rosen had been a student of Einstein's colleague Banesh Hoffmann at Queens College of the City of New York, from which he graduated with honors in physics in 1955. He was a familiar sight in East Hampton at yard sales, where he and his wife Ms. Paul had a home in the North West Woods, and where he single-handedly built a tree-house (called "Butterfly Landing") which he wrote about in the East Hampton Star (April, 2008). The tree-house was blessed and a mezuzah added at a special ceremony by Rabbi Sheldon Zimmerman of the Jewish Center of the Hamptons. Rosen was also known as a serious amateur photographer and sculptor, and writer of songs and lyrics for special occasions--such as milestone events in the lives of his many friends and relatives. His memoir, "Youth, Middle-age, and You-Look-Great: Dying to come back as a memoir" was published on Kindle in 2013 He is survived by two children, Lisa Jo Rosen of New York and Rome, and Daniel Marc Rosen of Galway, Ireland from an earlier marriage to Miki Tekla Gold ending in divorce. He is also survived by two grandchildren, Jascha of New York and Galway, and Tanya who resides in Belfast, a brother Elliott Jay Rosen of Albany, New York, a sister Barbara Fleck-Paladino, and nephews Louie Fleck of New York, Sascha Paladino of Dublin, Ireland, Bela Fleck of Nashville, Tennessee, and Neil Rosen of Albany, New York.
