[QUOTE="ZapperZ, post: 6067426, member: 6230"] A few years ago, I was sad to read that he was suffering from dementia and his family had to sell his Nobel Prize medal to help pay for his health. [URL]http://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/6822/20150530/selling-his-most-prized-possession-the-nobel-prize.htm[/URL] He continued to advocate for "Physics First" concept in schools after he left Fermilab and went into teaching (he was a distinguished professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology for several years). His influence goes well beyond his work in physics. Zz. [/QUOTE]
