Although the field is far afield of my competence and understanding, I took vicarious pleasure in seeing John Goodenough recognized, since he was a legend during the years when I taught at UT Austin, and his work has literally affected everyone reading this! Unlike the Nobel prizes in peace and literature, or the fake Nobel in economics, all of which are thoroughly politicized, the other Nobel Prizes, including for chemistry, reflect genuine cognitive accomplishments. Now they need to recognize the other chemistry legend in Texas, Allen Bard!
