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!!
This is the only chemistry award that people know.
NOBELRAER
(I know almost nothing about science!!)
Congrats to your father!! This is the ultimate! Real head knows the deal! Literally just now I watch the news here in Germany and they brought it. The news expressed the metathesis method in organic synthesis as a "dance of the molecules with a change of partners"...
Thanks all.... it's been a wild day. My dad's # has been busy for the entire morning. After they dropped his name on NPR everybody on the east coast called him at once.
December I'll be in Sweden for a little
The bar's been set... shall we say... a LITTLE high?
On the upside, I'm not above catching some of that secondhand nobel heat. Already I've had professors come into my office today introducing themselves... I have no idea who they are... but hey, defending my thesis is only just around the corner, and I'm not above some schmoozing
Amazing. After that, seems like it'd be child's play for him to be able to synthesize raer records out of dollar bin ones. Once you can do that, Ebay will implode and you will rule the world.
Was he aware for a long time that the award was coming his way? or was it a kind of a surprise?
