What is the meaning of "he is the only person to have won two Nobel prizes in a Scientific field"? Perhaps a translation error?

Is Chemistry not a "Scientific field"? If it is, then Marie Curie and Frederick Sanger both also have two "Scientific" Nobels.

I plan to edit to something like "He is one of only three people, the others being Marie Curie and Frederick Sanger, to have won two Nobel prizes in scientific fields, and the only person to have won two Nobels in physics."

Hi, added a quote from Bardeen's first postdoctoral student, Ted Poppelbaum, who settled at UIUC and became a professor in the CS dept. Bardeen was a very unassuming man, not good at taking credit for himself, and in CU he was known to more people for throwing great cookouts than for having invented the transistor.
