Today is Nobel Prizewinner Erwin Schrödinger's birthday... Or is it? Love this graphic by the very talented @twisteddoodles #HappyBirthdaySchrodinger
Today is the birthday of Nobel Prizewinner Erwin Schrödinger! The famous physicist was the first Director of the School of Theoretical Physics here at DIAS and is known for his series of public lectures, known as the ‘What is Life?’ Lectures. #HappyBirthdaySchrodinger
*Sharing facts about E. Schrödinger to mark his bday tomorrow!* Did you know we donated a letter from F. Crick to Schrödinger which credits his influence in Crick & Watson discovery of DNA to @dublinmuseum earlier this yr. Go and check it out on display!#HappyBirthdaySchrodinger
To mark the 131st birthday of Erwin Schrödinger, we are sharing some interesting facts about the Nobel Prizewinner. Did you know he spent longer at @DIAS_Dublin researching than at any other institute he was based at. #HappyBirthdaySchrodinger
Tomorrow is Nobel Prizewinner Erwin Schrödinger's birthday. He would be the impressive age of 131! #HappyBirthdaySchrödinger
