Physicist, 98, honoured with doctorate 75 years after groundbreaking discovery
(www.theguardian.com)
Fowler’s discovery helped lead to a revolution in the theory of particle physics, and it continues to be proven correct – predicting particles such as the Higgs boson, discovered at Cern in Geneva, Switzerland.
Still very relevant. Higgs is even in public consciousness to some degree. I mean, I know the name (and nothing else about it) and I’m only a curious person who reads stuff online. Awesome that they honored her.
