I took a class in game theory from Thomas Schelling as an undergrad at the University of Maryland. I found the class fascinating. Now the professor who taught it has won the Nobel Prize in Economics.
Congratulations Dr. Schelling!
I worked with one of the Nobel prize winners for medicine in 1990, Don Thomas. Of course, I worked with him 12 years before he won.
That has to be the coolest thing ever. Wonder if he still remembers you? 
You should ask to touch it.
What? I can’t possibly be the only one who wants to touch a Nobel Prize? Better yet! Try it on. Take a picture. It’d be hilarious.
(And this is why my dork-ass will never win a Nobel Prize :))
The University of Maryland, as I’m sure you can imagine, is over the moon about this.
I doubt it. I had him for one class. It was a small class, but it was just one class, in 1997.
I would, if I thought he would remember me and let me do it, but he’s in Maryland, and I’m in California.
If you meant me, I know he still remembers me. I ran into him at a conference a couple years ago. Hugs all around.
We did bone marrow transplant research, you tend to get close when so many patients die.
Because of his research, (and to a lesser extent, my data gathering) many more bone marrow trasplants survive now.
How cool is that?!
I fully expect to see one of our dear friends win a nobel in medical advancement one day. He’s working on a patent right now…
