Both were in chemistry.
McDiarmid, who passed away in 2007 at age 79 (and was still working on proposals and new science right up until that time!) won the prize in 2000, shared with other researchers, for discovering polymers that could conduct electricity.
Kohn, who is still alive (born in 1923) is a physics professor at USCB. He developed fundamentals of density functional theory, a quantum mechanical electronic structure method used in chemistry and physics.
thats really neat..what did they win prizes for ??
Utah Im from Mowtown i love the Temptations saw them a few times.
I've met a couple of Nobel Prize winning scientists. Alan Graham McDiarmid (now deceased) and Walter Kohn.
My uncle sang on stage with the Temptations in Atlantic City. He was known as Charlie Tuna on the radio in Philadelphia. He also ended up on stage and sang with Barbara Mandrell. We have a video of it - it was hilarious!
I didn't actually meet Hulk Hogan, but one time he was in Salt Lake City (back in 1980 something) and I was at a stop light and he was in a limo. He rolled down the limo window and stuck his tongue out real far and then whistled at me - (it seemed he was drunk). I was actually embarrassed and ignored him! LOL!!!1
I've met:
Lorenzo Lamas (back in the 80s - what a hottie!)
Marie Osmond (also back in the 80s - she is sooooo beautiful)
Les Nesman (from WKRP in CIncinatti)
Mike Douglas (from the Mike Douglas talkshow) at a NJ animal safari (a long time ago)
That's it for me!
