On more than one occasion his life is saved because of his knowledge of geography, medicine, chemistry, or whatever he needs.
It's one thing if you want a medicine or chemistry Nobel Prize but if you want a physics Nobel Prize it pretty much has got to be dark chocolate.
With the fading of science sections from newspapers, where is the science for the science consumer, the readers into health, medicine, chemistry, tech, environment, physics, and the less well-defined category of Really Cool Scientific Shit?
And yet, this was the age that revived Aristotle, built upon Indian mathematics, developed the scientific method, and brought about the beginnings of serious study into medicine, chemistry, optics, and most of the other sciences.
To a lesser extent, the same is true of the chapters on the chemistry and medicine prizes.
The Nobel prizes have been given out annually since 1901, covering the fields of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace.

Like the medicine prize, the chemistry prize was awarded for work that might as easily have come under another heading in this case medicine itself.
This has huge potential for chemistry, medicine, energy and environmental remediation, and it stirs up significant fears about the potential for producing previously defunct viruses and warrior bacteria.
Unlike the medicine and physics prizes, the chemistry prize went to an individual.
It is given by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, which since 1901 has been awarding Nobel Prizes for achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and for peace.

Academic authorities, first at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and then at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, were aware of his low boredom threshold and let him rove between his native chemistry, physics and medicine, knowing that if this professor was left to himself he might well produce something extraordinary.
Britain won 11 Nobel prizes in chemistry, physics, physiology and medicine in the 1960s, 13 in the 1970s, four in the 1980s and two in the 1990s.
This meant building a team of anywhere from ten to fifty people to deal with all the complexities of the process: chemistry, biology, regulatory affairs, clinical medicine, finance, business development, patent strategy, etc.
And going through the hyper-rational process fits in well with other cultural artifacts of medicine like memorizing a thousand carbon molecules to pass organic chemistry or spending six months studying for the MCATs.
