A very cool accomplishment from a fellow Manitoban!
James Peebles has won a Nobel Prize in Physics this year!
Peebles was born in St. Boniface and took home the award “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology.”
“My advice to young people entering science: you should do it for the love of science … You should enter science because you are fascinated by it”
