Favorite scientist without a Nobel Prize?


From Wikiwiki:
Quote:


Marion King Hubbert (October 5, 1903 October 11, 1989) was a geoscientist who worked at the Shell research lab in Houston, Texas. He made several important contributions to geology, geophysics, and petroleum geology, most notably the Hubbert curve and Hubbert peak theory (a basic component of Peak oil), with important political ramifications. He was often referred to as "M. King Hubbert" or "King Hubbert"...

.. He also held positions as a professor of geology and geophysics at Stanf*rd University from 1963 to 1968, and as a professor at UC Berkeley from 1973 to 1976..

[SIZE="2"]Accolades[/SIZE]
Hubbert was a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was long affiliated with the Geological Society of America, receiving their Arthur L. Day Medal in 1954, being elected [U]President of the Society in 1962[/U], and receiving the Society's Penrose Medal in 1973. He received the Vetlesen Prize from the G. Unger Vetlesen Foundation and Columbia University in 1981. He also received the Elliott Cresson Medal in 1981.

So THIS is what our FOOTBALL board has devolved to. Embarrassing, even for a summer thread.


..oskiwanabe's theme stroked my jollies, and apparently others too. Flopped for you.. darn.

Feel free to start other topics better than this one, summer time lame or not. Dave Stern didn't float my boat, but please keep trying.

You're two [VERY late add.. up to 7799 tonight] away from an awesomeo 7800th post --> 16th most giving poster of all cybers. Incredibly great content would be esp sweet.
