An interesting article.
I remember writing something for junior high school students about Mendeleev. I was impressed then by how broad his field of interest was, not only in chemistry but in other intellectual endeavors. He was snubbed by the Nobel Committee and never did receive the well-deserved prize. Still, we all recognize him and every junior high school student knows his name.

Thanks for coming by, @agmoore2.
I first got to know about Mendeleev in the senior high school and since then I've been fascinated with all his great works. But, It's a pity he wasn't given a Nobel prize for all his efforts.
That's when I first heard about him also. Then when I became a teacher, I had to hit the books again. Have to be ready for those questions that come out of nowhere :)
