After his discharge in 1946, Jess worked at the Hanford Atomic Energy Project in Richland, Washington, and painted in his spare time, but his dismay at the threat of atomic weapons led him to abandon his scientific career and focus on his art."Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .
