- jpdoctor 15y agoI was at Bell Labs when the Jan Hendrik Schön scandal broke out. Before the scandal, many of us were convinced that he was headed for a Nobel. (The fellow across the hall won a Nobel while I was there, so this was not an insane proposition.) After the scandal: First disbelief, then wanting to know the truth.
