The experience at the Radiation Lab was very important for Purcell s professional development. Thrown together with more senior physicists, he learned about their pre-Rad Lab work in physics. Particularly influential, as Purcell acknowledged, were the physicists from Rabi s laboratory at Columbia. Purcell learned from Rabi (to whom he reported), Ramsey, Zacharias, and Henry Torrey about Rabi s prewar magnetic resonance experiments, and as the war wore on, ideas began to take shape in Purcell s thinking.
