"A scientific accomplishment is always the cumulative result of many people working in the same field or related fields."
- Tsung-Dao Lee, awarded the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics.
Three interesting facts about Lee:
• His first work was on the renormalisable field theory model, better known as 'the Lee Model'.
• He was the the youngest ever full professor at Columbia University in the City of New York at the age of 29.
• He was the third youngest scientist ever to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics at the age of 31. (The youngest was Sir Lawrence Bragg who was awarded the Physics Prize when he was 25 years old.)
Lee shared the #NobelPrize in Physics in 1957 together with Chen Ning Yang for their research in the field of particle physics.
