LCC is fortunate to count Dr. Boyle among its alumni.and is an inspiration to young scientists.
Congratulations!
I have always been proud to be a LCC student. I felt so much prouder of our school when I read this story. Congratulations Dr. Boyle for such a great honour.
It is interesting to think that an LCC alumni won the Nobel Physics Prize, so congratulations to Dr. Boyle. I have always wanted to win a prize, and there is nothing as important as that one. Maybe if I work really hard some day in 20, 30 40 or 50 years I might win a prize for inventing something like self washing dishes, or making the world a way better place. Once again, congratulations Dr. Boyle.
