Nobel Laureates at ECS Meetings: Part I

The Electrochemical Society had the honor of hosting a keynote talk at our October biannual meeting by M. Stanley Whittingham, exactly one week after he was awarded the 2019 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (with John Goodenough, and Akira Yoshino) for his work on lithium ion batteries. His presence at the fall meeting in Atlanta, GA, added a level of excitement not seen since Rudolph Marcus learned of his 1992 Nobel award while at an ECS meeting. After the meeting, we investigated connections between Society meetings and the Nobel Prize, and discovered them woven together through every decade of ECS's existence.
