<p>According the UofC web site, 5 current members of faculty are Nobel Laureates, 4 in Economics and one in Physics. Just curious if any one here have been to one of the lectures by a Nobel Laureate, or been taught by one? Any comments?</p>
<p>Also, by reading through the bios of Ada Yonath(Chem. 2009), UofC is not mentioned, does any one know how is she relate to UofC? Or I must be crossed my eyes. lol.</p>
<p>I don’t know about the first half of your post, but Ada Yonath was a visiting prof in 1977-1978. Not too much of connection.</p>
<p>[New</a> chemistry Nobelist was UChicago visiting prof, conducted research at Argonne | The University of Chicago](<a href=“http://news.uchicago.edu/news.php?asset_id=1729]New”>http://news.uchicago.edu/news.php?asset_id=1729)</p>
<p>Ada Yonath is not one of the current 5 Nobel laureate faculty members. (She’s in medicine, not in econ or physics.)</p>
<p>Ada Yonath is a chemist/biochemist not really into medicine per se since she studies structural biology.</p>
<p>Who said Yonath is a current member of the faculty? </p>
<p>I had two questions, the second has to do with Yonath, the first one has nothing to do with her. Read the questions…</p>
<p>I am fully aware of Yonath is NOT a current faculty…</p>
