Half the double pulsar prize went to a grad student,

Didn't Josephson share the prize with Ivar Giaevar (spelling?) and someone
else? (memory cell atrophy, and no ready reference.) Doesn't change the
conclusion, since Giaevar _dropped out_ of grad school to do his work.
Finished PhD later, and not on the same project for which he got the Nobel.

and Rudolph M=F6ssbauer did. Of
course they were not grad students when the prizes were awarded, but
the work cited was done while they were grad students.=20
