Band nerd wins Nobel Prize

TC writes — The Nobel Prize in chemistry has just been awarded to San Antonio native William Moerner. No, he is not a Bobcat alumnus, but the article in today’s San Antonio Express News reveals that Dr. Moerner played bassoon in the Jefferson High School Band, graduating in 1971 and going on to study mathematics and physics and to become a chemistry professor at Stanford University. Skilled, educated musicians can do anything! (And by the way, ‘band nerd’ is a badge of honor to us.)
