Ask Not for Who the Nobels Toll

Or

Nobels Oblige 

Frederick Sanger, who won twice as many Nobel Prizes as those morons Albert Einstein, James Watson and Alexander Fleming, has died at the age of 95. He won the 1958 Nobel Prize in chemistry for showing how amino acids link together to form insulin, which gave scientists the tools to analyze any protein in the body, including some punk named Francis Crick. He then coasted for more than 20 years before tying the career record for Nobel Prizes with a second award in chemistry in 1980 for inventing a method of understanding the molecular letters that make up the genetic code. The Sanger Method allowed him to read hundreds of letters of DNA at a time, a discovery that provided the basic tool kit for decoding the entire human genome and allowed pharmaceutical companies to develop expensive, dangerous drugs. He is the 4th scientist to win 2 Nobel Prizes, and the only one to win 2 in chemistry.
