[edit] Two Nobel prizes in scientific field

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."

Perhaps the original author meant that Bardeen was the first to win two Nobels in the same scientific field -- a feat which was later equaled by chemist Frederick Sanger.

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.

[edit] More improvement needed

The biography of John Bardeen is good. However, this biography should be improved. This biography should be one of the best biographies on Wikipedia. Masterpiece2000 08:26, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
