Not anymore. You're not required to know or have studied Chemistry to get a Nobel in Chemistry.
- famouswaffles 2y agoThe Nobel Prize has always prioritised advances in the field over specific training. Curie was a trained chemist when she won her prize in physics. Michelson was a Naval Officer. Of course naturally, being able to win a Nobel usually means you studied the field your entire life but that has never been a requirement.
