The person I have chosen is John B. Goodenough. I chose this guy as he was prized motivation for the development of lithium-ion. I also lied his last name "Goodenough". This man was born on 25 July 1922 in Jena, Germany. He is also an American Materials Scientist and a solid state physicist.


On your blog, tell your readers who you chose and then tell us about them in five to ten sentences. Who were they? What did they do that was so special? Feel free to include a picture of your chosen Nobel Prize winner on your blog.

  1. Hi Florence! John B. sounds like a really interesting man...I really like the summary you've provided about him, including the exact five sentences as well. I did some more research on John, and seen he has written a few books! One of them is "Witness to Grace". If you wrote your own book, what would it be called and why? Great work!

  3. Hi Florence,
    I liked how you gave a detailed explanation on the person the you chose. I also liked how you included a picture of him too. You say that he created or was involved in the creation of lithium ion, do you know what lithium ion is used for?
