Meh, I'll rate this as a 'C' - more buffed than a 'start' article, but...erm...reading the article, it needs to go in depth on some of his key areas of research which impress as somewhat perfunctory for the time being. Casliber (talk·contribs) 12:28, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I tried to get some physical chemists interested, but nothing yet. The main source for his research is here. I was going to add stuff based on what is there, but I felt I might mis-state things if I didn't take the time to do it properly. It should probably be added to a further reading section, as that source is really only used for biographical information at the moment. BTW, I rarely check back on articles like this. If you assess another of my articles, try and drop me a note on my talk page if you have time. I'm off to see if anything has changed on the other articles I wrote around the same time as this one.
