Couldn't be prouder of you dad! We're completely blown away and too excited to go back to sleep. If we had any champagne we'd be popping it, and watch out for the science paparazzi!!

    Wow! That is an incredible achievement you all must be tripping out. The ultimate peer recognition I'd say.

    Thanks all! Not sure how this will change our family's life, he's quite modest and this is the only chemistry award that people know.

    Somehow I think I'll be hearing a lot more of this now....

    Schrock Jr!

    I think your pop should spend it all on fast cars and casinos.

    I heard this on the radio and they only get to interview two of three scientists because one winner's dog chased reporters off the front lawn. Was that your old man?

    Congratulations.

    Saw this on the news this morning, and not being near a computer I thought. Hmmm. Wonder if that is Handcorkscrew Sr! Anyways it is awesome that he actually IS! Congratulations to you and your father. That is wonderful, you must be proud.

    Unbelievable! Wow, that's just incredible. Massive congratulations to your father.

    File under "Lifetime Achievement."

    Is he gonna get depressed now that he's won? I wonder if it's like finding your holy grail record and then feeling a tiny bit bummed that the chase is over.

    Probably not, because you don't win damn near half a mil when you find a grail.


    PS A Dance Of Changing Partners? All things almost record related!
