Condolence Notice - Dr. Richard E. Taylor
The University of Lethbridge extends its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Richard E. Taylor (DSc ’93), who passed away Feb. 22 in Stanford, California at the age of 88.
Taylor, who shared the 1990 Nobel Prize for the discovery of quarks, hailed from southern Alberta. Born in 1929 in Medicine Hat, he was the first Canadian ever to be awarded the Nobel Prize in physics.
His work as an experimental physicist changed the way scientists thought about the world and ushered in a new age in particle physics.
