Professor John Goodenough is a legendary scientist, a tremendously kind and supportive mentor with big heart for science and humanity, a very inspiring colleague for many of us. He is well remembered for his lasting impact and legacy on The Forty Acres @CockrellSchool @utmechengr
The Nobel Prize@NobelPrize

"We compete against problems, not against people." John B. Goodenough is the oldest person ever to receive a #NobelPrize. He was 97. Watch our interview with him. We talked to the extraordinary chemistry laureate about life, science and love: youtube.com/watch?v=jBTfdU…
