More from the Sun. Martian life, said the panel headed by Princeton Biologist Colin S. Pittendrigh and Stanford's Nobel-prizewinning Geneticist Joshua Lederberg, must be hardy enough to survive long periods of extreme dryness and cold. Martian organisms may concentrate water vapor the way earthly plants collect small traces of carbon dioxide; they may even make their own water by chemical action. There is a possibility that they need no water at all, using some other liquid as a fluid medium...
...upper atmosphere by bouncing short-length radio waves off them, a technique that made worldwide radio communication practicable, led directly to Britain's development of radar (thus giving the R.A.F. a crucial advantage over the numerically superior Luftwaffe), and won for the pioneering scientist the 1947 Nobel Prize in physics; of a stroke; in Edinburgh...

Scientists in this country have often speculated that extraterrestrial beings might try to communicate with other worlds by simple patterns of powerful radio waves. Edward M. Purcell, Gerhard Gade University Professor, won the 1959 Nobel Prize for Physics for the discovery that atomic hydrogen in space radiates signals, allowing scientists to pinpoint the location of the transmitting body. Lilley speculated that Russian astronomers applied Purcell's discovery to their own observations and reasoned that intelligent beings in space with knowledge of radio transmission techniques were trying to tell others of their existence...
Konrad E. Bloch, Higgins Professor of Biochemistry, was given the $1000 Fritzsche Award for his work on the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Bloch shared the 1964 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology for the same work...
