/sci/ - Science & Math

I met this guy once. He said that he wasn't naturally that smart, just loved his work. In his early 20s, he just started going into his lab every single day, worked 12 hours or more, and went home to think about what he'd worked on. Sometimes he'd work only 8 hours on the weekends. It was joked (I think?) that when he hit his 80s, he started taking days off.

Anyway, greatest spectroscopist of all time, Nobel Prize, etc.
