Umm, are you sure her second Nobel was shared with anyone?

Good catch! First with husband in Physics in 1903, second in Chemistry in 1911. My memory failed. Her daughter did win in Chemistry by with someone else in 1933.

But remarkable for the scientific and sexist and ethnic bigots out there that a women and a Pole should have achieved in Science what no man has!

As a person who once split atoms, I am quick to defend the elite nature of the hard Sciences in a time of grade inflation and "how do you feel about that?" academics.

Good ahead, people disagree, Until you can master Maxwell's Equations (and not his Silver Hammer!) I won't listen.

Another Nobel prize winning Physicist, Ernest Rutherford, 1st Baron Rutherford of Nelson, OM PC FRS, from New Zealand, said:
"Physics is the only real science. The rest are just stamp collecting." I don't agree today. Chemistry and Biology and Astrophysics (really a subset of Physics) have since joined the elite.

A true science studies measurable things with theories and predictions based on first principles.

Two physicist and two mathematicians are using the train on the way to a congress. On the way the mathematicians mention that they need only one ticket. And actually, when there is a ticket control, both mathematicians are going on the same head. During the control they push one ticket through the gab beneath the door and all is okay.
On the way back the mathematicians mention that they need no ticket at all. But the physicists have learned too. So when the ticket inspector boards the train, they enter the head. One of the mathematicians knocks on the door and the physicists pushes their ticket out.
What do we learn from this?
Physicists use mathemmatical algorithm without understanding them.

Sadly true at times. Except when the Physicist is like Newton and invents his own algorithms. Or Hendrik Lorentz, a Dutch Physicist who developed the Transformations Einstein used for Relativity.

I was of course kidding about Peace Sciences, though the idea is attractive.:)

Linus Pauling could well have had a second Science Nobel had he not been denied a passport to go to Britain and look at Rosalind Franklin's X-ray diffraction images of DNA. Watson and Crick were both concerned at being beaten by him. She, of course, was robbed of her share of credit.

As a biologist, I do thank you for including us, though...;)

The change came in the 60's with microbiology and the more extensive study of DNA. Just as chemistry became a science by using physics to understand reaction, biology became a science by using chemistry to understand life processes and structures.
 
On my daily hour of searching the web for smut and porn knowledge that enriches my life, I stumbled about a few personal files of the NYPD.
At the time of the Bronx crux murders, Reginald Jones, Chief of the Major Crime Unit, was looking for a new partner for Stan Goldman.
As told by Stan, Reggie choose Barb Moore because "I think having a woman working on the case will appeal to the media." Actually the Mayors wife got him on his nerves about "gender equality".
So it was down to two female detectives.
The first, a good looking blond, was described as hardworking with a knack for sting operation, but always complaning, very impulsively and emotional. Handwritten was noted that her current boss described her as "loose among the boys after a glas of wine". Further noted was, that in Highschool she was known as "Queen of the bj". Attached was a pic of her last arrest.

The second female detective was Barbara Moore, described as hardworking with a knack for sting operation, but always complaning, very impulsively and emotional. Handwritten was noted that Barb hated bj´s, but was easygoing after a glas of wine. A further note supplemented, that she was still very,very good at it, if she choose to do it (although she doesn´t swallow). Attached was only one pic of her.

Apparently the decision was made by the mayors wife (I´m not sure about her knowledge of the handwritten notes). The argument for Barb was: "...look at that lovely, innocent face. I`m sure the church will be envolved. And such a pristine young lady is what we need in this case."

As we all know by this time, the description of Barb was total nonsense. Of course she is complaining sometimes and she is a little bit impulsiv and emotional. And after a glas of wine... ah sorry lost my train of thought. Maybe I wanted to say that she has shown to be a real pro.

Gee, Reggie, thanks a lot. :rolleyes: I've been a valued member of the team, or so I thought. Can't stick around to chat, though. I'm off to the liquor store. A bottle of red, a bottle of white, as Billy Joel sings.,..
