I was fortunate to see him talk at UCSD recognizing his Nobel prize in 2008. Standing room only, isles filled with folks sitting down likely against fire code.

I was fortunate to see him talk at UCSD recognizing his Nobel prize in 2008. Standing room only, isles filled with folks sitting down likely against fire code. Despite the vast number of people there to see him talk, he was astoundingly humble and basically described how everyone else did the hard work and deserved his award; he was just merely connecting the dots. A great individual who will clearly be missed.
