A Nobel Prize?

[Nick Seidl]

As many of you know, many of DK's inventions have proven to be invaluable in the medical field. Further, his work in FIRST has provided great opportunities to students and professionals alike. Does anyone think deserves a Nobel Prize for his work? Does anyone here think a potential future invention might earn him one? What are people's thoughts?

I think there is the possibility, but many people who don't have the direct benefit of him/ his knowledge don't know how good his inventions are.

The Nobel Prizes generally go to people who make breakthroughs in areas of pure science. Dean takes a lot of technology and makes good products from them. He also makes improvements in existing technology. But has he really made any breakthroughs that open completely new doors into our understanding of the universe? Not that I know of. That doesn't mean I respect the man any less just that he works in a different area then they give out Nobel Prizes for. He wins a lot of awards in areas he does work so it is not like he is ignored either.
