Windsor 2,233 Posted October 4, 2010 A new one for the grey club. I'm not sure if anyone caught the BBC 10 o'clock news tonight, but Louise Brown (first test tube baby) said that the award could not come at a better time for Professor Edwards as he wasn't in the best of health. A handy scoop for 2011? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Godot 149 Posted November 1, 2010 Georges Charpak, 1992 Physics Laureate has died aged 86. In 1992, he was awarded the Nobel Physics Prize "for his invention and development of particle detectors, in particular the multiwire proportional chamber" in 1968 at CERN, which would become the world's largest atom smasher He was also a survivor of Dachau, having been captured in 1944, working for the French resistance. The Daily Telegraph finally get around to giving him an obit. Good obit but poor show by the obits editor for taking so long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,661 Posted May 12, 2011 Don't recall a rule either way on this but... BBC ARE reporting Boyle's death here. But it's on their "Elsewhere on the web" news feed. Not sure exactly how that sits in DDP rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted May 12, 2011 Don't recall a rule either way on this but... BBC ARE reporting Boyle's death here. But it's on their "Elsewhere on the web" news feed. Not sure exactly how that sits in DDP rules. It's a link to another site and so not strictly an obit from the Beeb. There's a similar issue with Jim Mandich on Sky News where there are links but no actual announcement from the site itself. If the Guardian (who always do this) print something from AP, that's alright because it's there written on the site itself, even if it is second hand...
