About this Quote

In this quote, Nobel Prize-winning chemist Wilhelm Ostwald reveals his surprise and enjoyment at being granted the greatest clinical difference of his time for his research studies on catalysis. Ostwald was a leader in the field of basic chemistry, and his research study on catalysis was a major contribution to the field. He was shocked that his work on catalysis was acknowledged with such a distinguished award, as he had committed much of his career to expanding the field of general chemistry. Ostwald's quote is a testament to the value of his work on catalysis and the effect it had on the scientific neighborhood. It also acts as a reminder of the importance of acknowledging and rewarding clinical accomplishments, no matter how small or seemingly unimportant they might be.
