Arthur Ashkin Physicist; Nobel laureate in physics for the invention of optical tweezers
I didn’t realise I’m the oldest ever! So I just about made it, huh? Because you can’t be dead and win … If you’re a winner of the National Inventors Hall of Fame you can be dead.

There are a lot of images to be proud of.
