Laura Gagliardi (University of Palermo, Italy) won the 2004 Annual Medal of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science

"for her innovative contributions to prediction and understanding of new inorganic molecules using quantum chemical methods"

:cool:
 
thanks for the info astronuc. I did not know that

marlon

ps : smart and good looking : the perfect match...and by no means is this an attempt to be a sexist...:)
 
Smart true,good looking...

Oh cmon, she isn't that bad looking. Let's hope she doesn't happen to come upon these forums... :wink:
 
beauty purpotedly is in the eye of the beholder. ok, say half.
intelligence then could be perception through a more-or-less prefect/imperfect brain.

This thread began with a comment of bad taste:"site of the beautiful woman".De gustibus non discutandum,ESPECIALLY when it comes to women.Keep your personal remarks to yourself,if you don't like the others to share theirs with you.

This is after all, a moderated free public forum...

Daniel.

P.S.Just forget it...

Yes, a forum on science in which we DO NOT make poor claims like stating that italians do not speak nor understand English.
