Believe it or not, Haber is the first Nobel Chemistry laureate we've profiled. We also haven't done Medicine yet. Because Jonas Salk was robbed, of course.
Most poignant aspect of Haber's history: he was a key developer of WWI-era poison gas. His wife suicided in remorse over his participation in this. And his relatives were gassed in the Holocaust with the very technologies he developed.
