In a scientific field, to be clear.

I suppose there was Shockley, but he started Shockley Semiconductor Labs *after* doing the work he won the prize for. Has anyone ever won for work they did *while* they were CEO? I can't find anything.

@pfau Is this an Elon subtweet? Is this a Demis subtweet? There are too many possibilities.

@pfau No one. I’m too worn by the times we live in.

@pfau That would be cool, but not that I know of.

@pfau It seems more possible than ever for a CEO to have been responsible for some major discovery or breakthrough. Would be great to see that I suppose. But not sure it would be possible considering that projects like CERN aren't eligible.
