Fred Sanger was the only other chemist to receive two Nobel awards.  If Professor Woodward had lived a little longer, he might have shared in a second prize.

Linus Pauling (Chemistry and Peace), Marie Curie (Chemistry and Physics) and Bardeen (physics 2x) are the other 2x winners.

I think we can claim Pauling and Marie Curie as chemists :)

Yes, but both of Dr. Sanger's awards were in Chemistry.

All I've got to do is win two more and I'll be tied for first place!
