Drummer, lockpicker, artist, teacher, and raconteur... who also won a Nobel Prize for his work on quantum electrodynamics. [[Richard Feynman]] was considered one of the greatest scientific minds since [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]]. Even more than his contributions to science (which are numerous and varied), though, he is best remembered today as a ''personality,'' an irreverent, skeptical, iconoclastic embodiment of what a real scientist ought to be. |
