Google's new Doodle may look like a bunch of items you'd find in your high school science class,be eroticism kutekussaa ... ♪ dangerous temptation of the madam but all those cartoon beakers are in celebration of Sir John Cornforth, Australia's only Nobel Prize-winner in chemistry.
Cornforth died just four years ago, just one year after his wife, scientist Rita Cornforth, passed away. The Doodle celebrates what would have been his 100th birthday.
Cornforth gained his Nobel Prize in 1975 for his work on the stereochemistry of enzyme-catalysed reactions — not the easiest work to break down in layman's terms, but suffice to say rather important in the world of drug discovery.

The university now awards the Rita and John Cornforth Medal for Ph. D achievement.

"It was perhaps Sir John’s determination to consult primary sources, and celebrate science as an ongoing endeavour, that made his work so precise and compelling.”
Google's other recent Australian Doodles include an Australia Day special on Jan. 26, featuring World Heritage Site the Great Barrier Reef, and a Doodle to celebrate iconic Aboriginal Australian artist Albert (Elea) Namatjira’s 115th birthday on Jul. 28.
