The recent Nobel prize for superfluid He-3 includes Osheroff, who
apparently was a grad student on the project. This seems pretty rare - I
notice that the grad students on the C-60 prize only get a mention, for
instance. Does anyone know more about this? Are there other examples of
Nobel prizes for graduate student work? Why was Osheroff chosen
(obviously, he was not just 'in the right place at the right time'!)?
